前谷歌CEO:对Facebook能否成功构建元宇宙表示怀疑,不会叫它“Meta”:金色财经报道,前谷歌CEO埃里克·施密特在接受CNBC“Squawk Box”节目采访时表示对Facebook能否成功构建元宇宙表示怀疑,他说道:“我期待着元宇宙的出色创新,我已经等了大约三十年......但至于 Facebook 是否会建立它,我不知道。” 埃里克·施密特还表示,他会继续用Facebook这个词,而不是用“Meta”来称呼这家公司,就像其他人称 Alphabet 为“谷歌”一样。在谈到元宇宙监管问题时,埃里克·施密特说道:“我们需要弄清楚元宇宙U监管,但现在我觉得我们还不知道如何监管这一领域,我认为今天的监管机构没有正确的表述,甚至没有如何讨论这个问题。”[2021/11/3 6:27:50]

彭博社:Facebook更名是一个精明之举:10月21日消息,针对昨天Verge报道Facebook或将在下周更名、以突显其元宇宙野心的报道。彭博社发文称,此举在带来各种麻烦的同时,不失为一种精明之举。如果品牌重塑涉及结构性变化,这将成为公关经理梦寐以求的支点,将人们的注意力从一系列负面新闻中移开,进而有望改变公众对该公司的看法。文章认为,新名称起初一定会引发不满和嘲讽,但这是必经的过程。如果Facebook能将元宇宙整合进新品牌,使得每次人们提起这家公司时都会想起元宇宙,它或许能借此踏上一条掌握元宇宙、甚至忘掉过去的旅程。(彭博社)[2021/10/21 20:45:20]
