Facebook rename

[Tin basher]

So the Facebook empire is now META. So is it a cynical rebrand to hide from the debate about data collecting and other geeky stuff like that or just a corporate thing to do? Does it really matter to the world. From what I read about Facebook the folks who post every minutia of their daily lives on there won't give a damn if it was called lovers of lucifers. com

Facebook changes its name to Meta in major rebrand

The social media giant says the new name will better encompass what it does.

They've been reading Ready Player One and are getting ready to set up the OASIS. The "Metaverse" sounds better than "Facebookland".

Does it really meta

With their track record, they will now claim that anything with Meta in it is theirs and every record on any IT system anywhere that has metadata attached to it is fair game for them.

In Hebrew it sounds like the word for dead. Sadly I don't think it will ever die.

Meta: Facebook's new name ridiculed by Hebrew speakers

The social media giant joins a number of companies that have fallen foul of translation blunders.

I bet it was the dumb $!t Nick Clegg's idea. Strangely 'clegg' is a local name for a blood sucking insect parasite where I live

Was listening to the radio the other day, it seems that the younger generation(s) are dropping off FB, seems like they don't like it because their parents & grandparents are on it.

It's not the first time the younger generations have avoided what their parents use; so if you want to keep your kids from using Pornhub, YouPorn & xhamster - start uploading now ....
