#2The rebrand was introduced as a "One More Thing" during the event keynote.
A 2007 "One More Thing" was the announcement of the iPhone and the future of mobile computing. Now a 2021 "One More Thing" is the announcement of a company rebrand to avoid government regulation.

#3https://meta.com is live as well.
...I can't tell if it's intentional that the page loads initially with the "facebook" brand in the uppper left and then quickly overwrites it with meta.

For better or worse, it does seem Zuckerberg is as invested in making the "metaverse" the new future of Facebook as Jobs was with Apple and the iPhone

#9They want to own the SEO around the "metaverse", so renaming their company to half the world means they dominate all search around it. Genius move, Mark.

#10It is been finally admitted.
Facebook Inc. aka Meta Inc. is going to kill Apple and put an end to the iPhone.
Going to watch this.
To Downvoters: Here's a reminder of how wrong the HN bubble was back then: [0] [1]
This is the same place that reacted to Facebook acquiring Instagram and WhatsApp to being the dumbest decisions Mark Zuckerberg made and now it became a $1T company with billions in profit and billions in monthly active users.
If users cared about privacy, why are they still on WhatsApp and Instagram and failed to move elsewhere? Exactly because the money, creators, social inertia and followers are still there.
We'll come back in 10 years and we'll see if you still like Apple and Google's walled gardens and 30% taxes.
