This caught my attention. I recently came up with MEOW (Massive
Educational/Entertainment Online World) because I want to take a
MMOG and use it for education. A virtual university of sorts. I see
that my term relies on games/entertainment as part of it. (I also
liked that a meow is a cat sound and that my name is the name of a
famous cat.) I kinda doubt that MEOW would have marketplace value,
however, it does address entertainment and education aspects.
