That\u2019s what Mark Zuckerburg wants us to call one another. At the moment, only the employees are encouraged to use the term of endearment but we have a feeling everyone jumping into the metaverse will soon be referring to their meta contacts as \u201cmetamates\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In a special virtual meeting earlier this week, Meta CEO and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg shared the updated company values. He mentioned that employees are now \u201cmetamates\u201d as they are no longer just coworkers. It seemed the executive is serious in using the term coined by American professor Douglas Hofstadter.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/about.facebook.com\/\">Meta<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-363031\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/363026\/Metaverse.jpg\" alt=\"Metaverse\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/02\/17\/facebook-and-meta-employees-are-now-called-metamates\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Facebook and Meta employees are now called \u2018Metamates\u2019\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/363026\/Metaverse.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-363031\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/363026\/Metaverse.jpg\" alt=\"Metaverse\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/02\/17\/facebook-and-meta-employees-are-now-called-metamates\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Facebook and Meta employees are now called \u2018Metamates\u2019\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/02\/363026\/Metaverse.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"ac16dbdc43eb819e0e58e2d7-text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"ac16dbdc43eb819e0e58e2d7-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Hofstadter was asked by another Facebook employee about his ideas soon after the Meta name was made public. Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth (@boztank) shared this piece of information. The term \u2018mate\u2019 simply refers to a fellow belonging to the same group. Bosworth also explained the reference to the naval adage <em>\u2018Ship, shipmates, self<\/em>\u2019. Instagram, also a Meta company, has been using this phrase for a while now internally.

What\u2019s not clear is how even if we\u2019re being presented with a number of thoughts. There are actually plenty of ideas available but together, they still seem vague. Or maybe we don\u2019t know where to look at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>The legit metamates should know what their boss wants to h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>en. Changing the company values is just a step in a new direction. Many will question the changes but one thing is certain, Zuckerberg\u2019s Meta wants the world to have a forward-thinking approach to a lot of things.

In the metaverse, at least, for now. Zuckerberg introduced a new value of focusing on long-term impact. The metaverse company won\u2019t be just Meta (Facebook). We believe other tech giants will also join the bandwagon especially now that NFTs are becoming mainstream. Meta is simply laying the foundation for many other companies as well that will someday be motivated to join the craze.<\/p>\n<p>So metamates, how is life treating you so far? Has the metaverse been good to you? If you find yourself not interested in the metaverse, you can at least, try to understand what it\u2019s about. You don\u2019t have to jump on the bandwagon.
