ONE EPISODE, A STARTING POINT

Why is Facebook changing its name?

2:13Marco Montemagno · podcast RSS

In this 22 October 2021 commentary, before the new name was announced, Marco interprets rebranding as a response to Facebook’s reputation and a signal of priorities beyond social networks. He distinguishes the holding company’s name from individual products and mentions the metaverse, virtual reality and hardware. Possible names and the future of social media remain opinions from that moment. Jokes about Zuckerberg calling him do not establish a verified private contact.
