I've seen two lately that I think are better than anything yet proposed.

PSW - Persistent State World. Doesn't roll off the tongue, but I don't see
why it should.

"crowd game" - "We just call them crowd games. The crowd on the cloud. So
simple, easy. I don't get why you don't use it the easy way." I don't care
if it's not an acronym. Why does it have to be an acronym?
