Usage: 'Google' as verb referring to searching for information via any conduit other than Google.Official Google Blog: Do you "Google?"
Example: "I googled him on Yahoo and he seems pretty interesting."
Our lawyers say: Bad. Very, very bad. You can only "Google" on the Google search engine. If you absolutely must use one of our competitors, please feel free to "search" on Yahoo or any other search engine.
A great article from the Official Google Blog about the future of the fresh new verb, Google. In probably one of the most stunning examples of effective branding in present day, the word Google was added to the Oxford dictionary as a verb recently. But is it too much? Will the word one day evolve into one that really has nothing to with the company, like Xerox or Kleenex?
Whatever the case, Ze Frank says to obey 'the Google".
