The big news yesterday was that Facebook announced its new company name - Meta. Yes, Facebook's company name is Meta. Like meta data, meta tag, and all the other metas that Google Search might have ranked prior. But when Facebook's announcement came out - the Google Search results adapted quickly to rank this breaking news.
I am not going to get into why Facebook renamed to Meta, you can the hundreds of articles on that on Techmeme. But as a search geek, it was impressive to see how quickly Google's search results picked up on the change and began ranking this news and content for Meta.

That is a screen recording I took an hour or so after the announcement and the first organic result there is the Facebook announcement. Look at the results yourself for the keyword [meta].
Danny Sullivan had a earlier screen shot:

I like the joke John Mueller made on the topic:
okay, not a new page, a FB joke, right? I wayback machined it :)

John added:
I wonder if this will throw off rankings & search results for all the SEO sites talking about meta tags now. Do you get a lot of "meta" traffic? This will keep the SEO & web-dev community busy for months.

In any event, I am sure SEOs are having a blast with this news.
