17 years after the creation of the application that changed the way two billion people are present online, Mark Zuckerberg has announced a new vision and a new name for his company. Facebook, the holding company that controls all social services (Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp) and hardware products (Oculus), becomes Meta . In Greek mèta means "after, beyond" and is intended to symbolize the opening of a new corporate chapter which has as its objective the construction of the metaverse . A term consistent with the vision, but cold, accompanied by a logo that recalls infinity, truly unoriginal.
The choice to change name is the most correct thing to do when a India Mobile Number Data company extends its offering beyond the original product, as Google did with Alphabet in 2015, but it could have been done earlier. Doing it today also inevitably indicates the desire to distance the character Zuckerberg from his firstborn in the moment of greatest difficulty, but also the corporate entity listed on the stock exchange from the fate of social apps. As proof of this, Facebook Reality Labs, the main research center for upcoming innovations, will become a separate unit with its own income statement. Meta will be a "social technology company", that is, a company that produces technologies that help people connect, find communities and grow their entrepreneurial activities, even beyond the current two-dimensionality, towards immersive experiences such as those of augmented and virtual reality.
An interesting element highlighted by Zuckerberg during the presentation is that the company will be “metaverse-first” not “Facebook-first”. This approach will also have practical implications, for example in the future there will be no need to use a Facebook account to access all the company's services. A clear step back from last year's choice to force Oculus users to log in with a Facebook account. Zuckerberg's metaverse idea For Zuckerberg, the metaverse will represent the next stage in the development of the Internet. An immersive environment, accessible with or without special devices, in which to have new experiences, alone or in company, characterized by the feeling of being present. A multisensory simulation of physical reality that involves an unprecedented technological effort, which cannot be accomplished by a single company.
