Becoming Meta

 

It was late October when Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO & poster child of bad barbering, announced his company was changing its name to Meta.

Meta, short for “metaverse,” was chosen to best represent a futuristic version of what we now call the internet.

Coming to agreement on a new name though, wasn’t an easy process.  Many suggestions were discussed…and then passed on.

 

Thankfully, the investigative team at My Odd Sock has recovered the abandoned list and presents to you, the rejected names of Facebook’s Meta…..
