  • The metaverse is getting a big boost from Facebook, Microsoft, and other tech giants.

  • Marketers are scrambling to play in these virtual spaces, with NFTs, gaming integrations, and more.

  • Here's a breakdown of Insider's coverage of how marketing is shaping the metaverse and the key people to know.

The "metaverse" recently got a big boost from Facebook parent Meta, which is pouring $10 billion into its ambitions there. Other big tech companies including Apple, Google, and Microsoft are working on their versions of the concept.

The vague term refers to a variety of shared spaces and assets that people can access via the internet, sometimes using virtual reality and augmented reality devices, and interact with each other and buy virtual goods.

But Facebook itself says the payoff won't be immediate, and top executives have widely differing expectations of what the metaverse means to them.

Here's a breakdown of Insider's coverage of how marketing is shaping the metaverse and the key people to know.

    Facebook-owner Meta to share more political ad targeting data

    Facebook owner Meta Platforms Inc will share more data on targeting choices made by advertisers running political and social-issue ads in its public ad database, it said on Monday. Meta said it would also include detailed targeting information for these individual ads in its "Facebook Open Research and Transparency" database used by academic researchers, in an expansion of a pilot launched last year. "Instead of analyzing how an ad was delivered by Facebook, it's really going and looking at an advertiser strategy for what they were trying to do," said Jeff King, Meta's vice president of business integrity, in a phone interview.

    If You Invested $1,000 in Apple in 2010, This Is How Much You Would Have Today

    For the lucky bunch who invested $1,000 in Apple stock twelve years ago, their investment would be worth $18,400 today. Let's look more closely at the probable causes for Apple's previous performance and consider if investors who buy Apple stock today can expect similarly impressive returns. Apple's dominant performance over the last decade could not have been achieved without the overwhelming success of the iPhone.

    4 Dow Stocks Billionaire Money Managers Bought Hand Over Fist in the First Quarter

    Despite a seemingly endless parade of economic data and earnings reports, the most important data release of the quarter occurred on Monday, May 16, and there's a real possibility you missed it. Last Monday marked the deadline for money managers with at least $100 million in assets under management to file Form 13F with the Securities and Exchange Commission. With market volatility picking up in a big way this year, perhaps it's no surprise that highly profitable and time-tested stocks within the iconic Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) were popular buys.

Costco's share price drop, however, has nothing to actually do with the company's performance.

    Apple is reportedly looking to ramp up manufacturing outside China

    Apple is looking to bump up production outside China, the Wall Street Journal reports, echoing similar pre-pandemic headlines. This time the tech giant is apparently urging its manufacturing partners to consider shifting some production outside of China because of frustrations with the country’s strict covid-19 protocols, which have led to lengthy lockdowns of hundreds of millions of people and travel restrictions. Apple has long relied on China for the vast majority—more than 90%, writes the Journal— of its manufacturing.
