No one knows what #Metaverse is and why it is so hyped - it’s become corporate America’s hottest #buzzword.

• Phil Libin, a former CEO of Evernote, says the metaverse is nothing more than a gimmick and has been around for years.

• Microsoft cited the metaverse as one of the reasons it acquired Activision Blizzard for $69 billion.

• A media company co-founded by Reese Whitherspoon, Hello Sunshine, has established a partnership with #WorldofWomen (WoW) on the #NFT collection in order to attract more women to the world of NFTs and promote #diversityandinclusion.

We look forward to seeing how these metaverses can elevate the sense of a digital self with new forms, personal expressions, creativity, and new experiences. To decentralize the internet, will #Web3 provide value exchanges rather than simplifying information exchanges. Will we be independent with Web3? Does it provide us with self-sovereignty? Is there a way for us to select my applications and how we wish to interact with them via our digital avatar?
