October 28, 2021
Facebook is looking to become a different type of company, starting with its name: The social networking giant is rebranding its parent company to Meta. Meta will oversee Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Oculus, the latter of which is of growing importance to Facebook’s ambitions in the metaverse — hence the name. The rebrand was revealed by Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg during the company’s Connect event on Thursday. Zuckerberg presented new fitness offerings and other functions in the company’s Oculus Quest VR headset. FOS
