- Shank 5y agoAlphabet broadly allows Google to continue-on as Google, in the event that Waymo or its other broader subsidiaries fail (and conversely, allows Google to be cut if that part starts to die). Alphabet is probably one of the most tactical "renames" out of the bunch.

- ojbyrne 5y agoThere is still a big blue F on facebook.com and the app. It doesn't seem that different to me.
- slymon99 5y agoFacebook used to mean two things - Facebook.com and the Facebook mobile app - The company Facebook which owned the two aforementioned products, instagram, messenger, whatsapp, oculus, portal... The second item here was rebranded to Meta, but the Facebook site and app are still Facebook. It's just the overarching company is Meta
- distrill 5y agoFacebook hasn't gone away. I get that it's not literally a child company under the parent Meta, but the product is still very much alive and is not going anywhere
