    “Fast-forward to today, and basically Meta Muse is trying to do exactly what Facebook M tried to do, restaurant reservations, theatre tickets and so on.”

    Our reading: Meta Muse is basically trying to do exactly what Facebook M tried to do, such as restaurant reservations and theatre tickets.

    No horizon Evidence as of

    Limitation: Support depends on reading basically as substantial task overlap and theatre tickets as an example of event booking.
