New Facebook brand and Logo.

Hmmm. I'm all for seeing pudenda in almost anything, but this is is a major stretch.

I assume it's based on Zuckerberg's Halloween costume.

Am I alone in thinking Zuckerberg is turning into a clone of Data from Star Trek.

I watched the absurd promo video and thought this guy is seriously loosing it. Does he actually believe the Facebook brand is not Toxic. Very odd, strange and increasingly disturbing individual. The best thing the PR team at Facebook could do is advise him to keep his mouth shut. Cringe and vomit enducing stuff.

Millions of people use zoom , video meeting apps, so in theory according to meta, people will meet up in virtual 3d spaces using Vr . I doubt it, around 1 per cent of gamers use Vr headsets. Why would anyone want to wear a uncomfortable Vr headset for hours everyday just to do business meetings when you can use zoom to do the same thing using Vr is also tiring and nauseating for many people

Also Vr equipment is also expensive versus simply using a laptop or pc camera which everyone already has

Vr is a niche interest which has not taken off with the public like ar

Right now there's a shortage of chips and graphics cards there's already 3d cameras and apps avaidable which can be used by users without using a Vr headset

Facebook owns Instagram and WhatsApp. So it makes sense to have a new company name the logo represents infinity

At least fb no longer requires a fb account to use an oculus Vr headset i just think 90 per cent of users don't care about Vr in an age when you can play games on a 4k TV i think it would be a nightmare if people were being forced to used Vr headsets just to talk to a business colleague as so many people now work from home using zoom

I hadn't thought of the evil Twin but yes 😏

it's scary what they are proposing....

Google did the same thing made new name alphabet that owns Google YouTube etc

There's a great article on www.pcgamer.com called the meta verse is bullsh1t worth a read maybe facebook thinks we all be working in Vr in the future doing meetings with Vr avatars this makes no sense to me it's like saying everyone will travel on electric scooters or electric cars in 2030

For practical and medical reasons many people simply can't use Vr headsets for hours at a time imagine having to put on a headset just to read your email I think Vr or ar augmented reality could have niche applications maybe for game designers or architects eg you could tour a large building in 3d before it's even built to see how it looks I just think Vr is only suitable for a small minority of users

People are already complaining of zoom fatigue and having to have laptop cameras on all the time as they work from home

Wearing Vr headsets would be even worse

Vr could be like HD audio dvds or 3d TV it may only have a limited appeal to the average user no matter how good the technology gets

It makes sense to rename the company as the last week its been under attack from journalists who are going thru leaks from insiders about how Facebook works. They did not invent the infinity symbol its been around for years . It makes sense as the virtual world is infinite it has no end every minute theres millions of comments posted on social media and videos posted on youtube

Minecraft has an update it already works in Vr at least for oculus headsets I just think Vr is a minority interest 1 or 2 per cent of gamers play Vr games theres a few good games half life alyx i just think most people don't want to put on headsets to play games and there's so many free games on pc Xbox game pass Sony had Vr on the ps4. Not many people used it I listen to gaming podcasts I hear very few people even talking about Vr games I think it would take a major release to get new users interested eg half life 3 on Vr or maybe a really good fitness game that had a well designed exercise program

Maybe kids are spoiled there's so many free to play games to play like fortnite

The only thing comes to my mind with new brand name Meta is that they want to control entire internet. Which partially already true with those small facebook logos on every webpage and hidden trackers.

But they didn’t call themselves after metadata, and in any case metadata doesn’t mean personal data.

The end goal is to get everyone's brains connected to the internet.

I think meta is a good name it's hard to find a company name that has not been used and is simple . Of course many company's change their name when there's a scandal or bad news reports about them

is it possible to avoid tax, if you change your baptised name, just like burgers?

I take it the Facebook app is retaining it's name and Facebook.com domain?

The future of porn.

So you’re sitting there with your VR headset on, kecks around your knees, furiously playing a virtuoso solo on the belly trombone while fully immersed in some sordid virtual MILF 3-way, all this time oblivious to your family returning home early from the shopping and walking in on you in all your cyber onanistic glory.

At least with an old copy of the Danmart catalog and a stiff sock you can keep one hand on the curtains and an eye out for potential embarrassment.

You have to ask for two packs of intersnax these days. 🤣
