Great changes on the horizon for Facebookfor which Mark Zuckerberg would be planning a return to the origins with the aim of giving new lifeblood to the famous social network.
It is the same CEO of Meta that expose himself directly and to announce an unexpected turn during the conference call on revenues relating to the fourth quarter 2024 of the company staged last Wednesday 29 January. The 2025 therefore opens with a bang, since at the beginning of last month the farewell to fact-checking had been anticipated, supplanted by a method of moderation very similar to what has long distinguished X.
During its exposure, Mark Zuckerberg He explained that Facebook is an important part of the life of its over three billion monthly users, and that it is already at work to make it “much more influential culturally than it is today”. But that’s not all, apparently: to make the antennas appear to those present was specifically a sibylline phrase of the CEO, who revealed that he was “Excited this year to return to a little Facebook OG”that is to say to the original version of the social network, and that the review will be a significant goal for the company in the next 12 months.
After having released the bomb, however, the Leader of Meta has again closed himself in Riccio also in front of the demand for clarifications brought him from an analyst, without providing more specific advances but limiting himself to explain that some of the changes that will be announced soon “They will return to the way Facebook was used originally“. And it is not the only interesting anticipation.
In fact, Zuckerberg has also explained that Meta may have to sacrifice its short -term company results to focus on the product changes necessary to improve Facebook. “I think it is a fun and interesting goal that will bring the development of our product in some interesting directions on which perhaps we have not concentrated much in recent years”Zuckerberg specified during the Q&A of the Conference Call. “I think it’s an investment area, it’s something I will dedicate to some time”.
But what exactly will change? This is what many have asked themselves, and obviously the hypotheses multiplied on the net. Reconquering the original Facebook atmosphere could mean several things. For some, the goal will be to recover the spirit of relationships between users, scarcely emphasized in the last period, while for others a return to the origins would stimulate the curiosity of the youngest who have detached themselves from the platform for the benefit of other famous social networks such as Tiktok.
Suffice it to mention, for example the return to the “poke”, a function particularly welcome to users aged between 19 and 29 years. The ball passes in the Zuckerberg field to understand if the strategy of a return to the origins can pay in terms of views or not.
