Facebook on Thursday 28th of October 2021 announced the rebranding of the company with the name Meta. CEO Mark Zuckerberg introduced Meta at the Connect 2021.
He said that Meta brings together the apps and technologies under one new company brand. The apps names still remain the same, such as Facebook.
“Meta’s focus will be to bring the metaverse to life and help people connect, find communities and grow businesses.” Mark said.
According to Facebook, The metaverse will feel like a hybrid of today’s online social experiences, sometimes expanded into three dimensions or projected into the physical world. It will let you share immersive experiences with other people even when you can’t be together — and do things together you couldn’t do in the physical world. It’s the next evolution in a long line of social technologies, and it’s ushering in a new chapter for the company.
