According to The Verge:
Facebook is planning to change its company name next week to reflect its focus on building the metaverse, according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter.
The coming name change, which CEO Mark Zuckerberg plans to talk about at the companys annual Connect conference on October 28th, but could unveil sooner, is meant to signal the tech giants ambition to be known for more than social media and all the ills that entail. The rebrand would likely position the blue Facebook app as one of many products under a parent company overseeing groups like Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus, and more.
But apparently either they aren't announcing the name yet or they don't have a name yet to announce. In which chase, let's offer some predictions, or even some suggestions of what the new name of Facebook should be.
