GAPE? Did they really think this through?

It’s been funny reading the blog buzz of Google Apps Premier Edition – in this day of Acronyms I wonder if Google’s PR/marketing folks are breathing a sigh of relief that people (so far as I’ve seen) haven’t taken to just shortening it to GAPE.

Not the prettiest word at the best of times, and considering one of the red flags people have raised about using online apps etc. has been security – GAPE isn’t something you really want to evoke images of in relation to it.

And the Google results for “GAPE”. Yikes.
