>It could just as easily be a bar or art gallery as a $100 trillion dollar virtual empire. "Meta" the bar or art gallery actually makes far more sense than "Meta" the tech company. Search would be a great name for a bar too. Generic industry terms make far more immediate sense when used outside the industry. Meta just feels like a company in 1999 naming itself "Internet." But, it doesn't matter because Facebook has the resources to make any bad idea stick.
