Facebook's 'News Feed' is dead - long live 'Feed'. After more than 15 years, the company decided to officially rename the central feature of the famous social network, and they published the whole thing in one tweet.

The change, which comes just a few months after Mark Zuckerberg announced he was changing the company name to Meta, is another sign that Facebook is making quite intense efforts to change the public perception of its platforms and products. A Facebook spokesman explained that the new name ‘reflects the different content that people post on the Feed’, stressing that the new name will not affect the features of the renamed feature.

Moving the word ‘news’ or news from the name is a symbolic gesture that reflects a changing priority towards the future represented by the metaverse, rather than the increasingly popular social network. Let us remind you that Facebook's news transmission often encountered problems, so in 2018, the company turned the feed towards users, not publishers, writes Engadget.

Facebook recently tried to change the view that polarized content, especially that coming from the far right, dominates Feed. The company has released reports of ‘highly watched content’ which implies that political content is not quite as popular.

Whatever follows for Facebook, things like the name change do not solve the problems with their content, but at least it shows that Facebook, ie Meti, allows the sale of a story in which Zuckerberg's business empire enters a new era that will not be defined by social network. popular.
