So the term google

has been officially added to the Webster dictionnary. It is considered a verb, in the sense of "Let me google that, to see if I find information."


Do you think it will stick ? When google fades away as an engine, will the term remain a constant or will it just get deleted from the dictionnary as a verb ?


I am still advocating the inclusion of the word "microsofted", for when your computer fucks up. Anyone who has played with Windows 3.1 and earlier shit will know what I am talking about.



anyone ?

Who knows? "google" certainly is in popular culture now... everytime someone asks for something, it is usually followed up with "google it."

Google is going to take over the world, so it'll be around forever.

even after the search engine ain't as good ? interesting. I know that in french, there are certain home appliances that we call by their original brand name even if the brand is crappy now.

as for google's dominance, it is growing. I already use the calendar, gmail and I'll try writely.

We should just all wait for the Google OS, then figure it out.

yes, but the search engine is not as good as it used to be. I'm just wondering if in 5 years it'll be dominant. the rest of the company i'm not worried about.
