[Update] It seems Seth Godin agrees with me, at least that’s how I’m reading it. [/Update]
I’m sorry, but I don’t care in the slightest that Google doesn’t want people to use the word “google” as a verb meaning “to search” in general terms. In fact, to me it sounds a bit silly when spoken out loud. But their bellyaching (same link) actually makes me want to do it more.
Yes, you’re Google – at this point who gives a rat’s ass if your name remains trademarked? Everyone knows who you are.
I’m just not remotely feeling sorry for you.
Now excuse me while I go google some stuff using Yahoo’s search because I’m annoyed with Google.
