Google Tries to Micro-Manage Language
Odd move by Google who recently sent legal papers to media organizations which forbade the use of google as a verb. Google, the verb, was officially accepted into the Oxford English dictionary last June -- a feat that most brand experts could only dream of. To google or not to google? It's a legal question.
Seriously, Google, language evolves beyond your control -- focus your energies on your flanker (non-search) products instead.
