Have you googled for that? *OOPS! Trademark infringement!*

Disappointing. While I may understand their worry of brand dilution/stickiness to a single ‘product’ I still think its a GOOD ‘problem’ when people start to associate an action with a product. I guess, and I hope this affects only the commercial context, for “google” as a verb is already so very much a part of everyday speak.

Indeed. People in society now say ‘I’ll google it’ if they dont know the answer to a question. It is common terminology these days.
