google (tm)

Often I tell people to “google” something. If they ask how I found something out I mention that, “I googled it.” I’ve always thought that this was amazing free advertising for the company. I’m not saying, “I yahooed it.” Nor am I saying, “Go to Excite and do a search.” I’m clearly telling the person, “go to www.google.com and look that information up.” I use Google because it gives great results — consistently — for general information searches. I consider all of this free advertising for Google, but Google does not.
