It has been revealed that the new name is a well-kept secret within the company, where it is known only to Mark Zuckerberg and senior officials. But even so, the renowned portal managed to speak with internal sources of the company and advanced some details of this change.
Facebook's idea is to make the big announcement on October 28th, where the conference 'Facebook Connect', but there is still a possibility of this happening even before, being a strategic weapon, since the company wants to use the name change to change public perception.

With this as a base, Facebook should become one more brand, like WhatsApp, Instagram and everything else, exclusively focused on the social network and nothing else.
