Facebook to Meta is Meh

Facebook is going to have a name change. With the bazillion of words available in actual encyclopedias, dictionaries with the digital and urban versions, the winning word is Meta. Bo-ring! Meh! You are going to change your business documents, online presence and smile at your press conference for that lame name?! No offense to Meta World Peace, but at least his name has a flow. Are you planning to sue them, Mr. Peace?

Even the logo is meh. A flaccid infinity symbol with some blue hue that looks like a raccoon lost its shades. Did Mr. Zuckerberg drop a rubber band and that was his design stroke of genius? Is it a low key dig to the Winklevoss twins? Unless there is a supercool backstory, it makes me yawn.

You have to ask yourself, a friend or a frenemy a couple of questions? Will I miss Facebook? Do I want to be apart of the Metaverse? Metaverse sounds like something that was unfortunately rescued from the trash in the writer’s room at Marvel or DC. What’s going to happen when the change occurs? Will we have to wear frames, masks or shawls as part of the Metaverse uniform? Will an individual be able to stay in the universe and opt out of the Metaverse? Are there options to be a citizen, hero, heroine or villain? Or will you be assigned?

There is definitely trouble brewing and it’s not just in River City.
