Ce este Poppin '?

The metaverse just went mainstream.

On Thursday, the social media giant Facebook announced a complete brand overhaul. The Mark Zuckerberg-led company will now go by “Meta,” in a nod to the company’s new infatuation with the metaverse. (Disclosure: I write a Facebook Bulletin newsletter.)

  

“I think we’re basically moving from being Facebook first as a company to being metaverse first,” Zuckerberg a spus The Verge after Meta’s formal announcement.

What is the metaverse? Well, that remains to be seen, but Zuckerberg hinted to The Verge that NFTs most likely fit into Meta’s, ahem, metaverse.

“One of the big questions that people are going to have about virtual goods in the metaverse is, ‘Do I really get to own this thing? Or is it just content that someone can basically just take away from me in the future?’ And I’m pretty sensitive to that given all the pressures that we’ve had to try to navigate around censorship, and what’s the definition of something that’s harmful versus when you have to get in the way of people being able to express something.”

Potrivit unui raport de la Axios, Facebook is investing billions into its metaverse push. The current plan seems to be spurring the creation of virtual and augmented reality applications. Meta has already announced a $150 million fund to promote the usage of such tools and features.

In another metaverse-centric move, the company’s stock will begin trading under the ticker MVRS starting Dec. 1.
