Facebook Is Now Meta In Major Rebranding

As part of a significant redesign, Facebook has changed its corporate name to Meta. As it expands its influence beyond social media into areas such as virtual reality, the firm claims it will better "encompass" what it does (VR). The word "meta" is derived from a Greek word that means "beyond."

Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, revealed the new name alongside ambitions to create a "metaverse," an online world where people may game, work, and chat in a virtual environment, frequently using virtual reality headsets. "I hope that we are seen as a metaverse company over time," he said at a virtual conference. "I want to anchor our work and our identity on what we're building towards." 

On Thursday, the firm unveiled a new sign at its Menlo Park headquarters, replacing the thumbs-up "Like" emblem with a blue infinity form. It is envisaged that the virtual world will be used for a variety of purposes, including work, recreation, and concerts, as well as socializing with friends and family.
