Usage: ‘Google’ as verb referring to searching for information via any conduit other than 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.
[from The Google Blog]
I can see this becoming common usage pretty soon…especially now Bush uses ‘the google’ for, you know, looking at the ranch and stuff…
