Welcome To The Metaverse
Yesterday, Mark Zuckerberg officially announced that Facebook would be rebranding to “Meta”. The newly branded company, Meta, would be focusing on the “metaverse”.
Mark explained that the metaverse will feel like a hybrid of today’s online social experiences, sometimes expanded into three dimensions or projected into the physical world. It all felt very futuristic but considering that Mark Zuckerberg will be spending $10 billion this year to help create means that Meta is serious about this pivot.
But will it succeed? Or is Zuckerberg not seeing that this is not a great direction.
Only time will tell.
