Google's grasp grows
One of Buffy's favorite comedy bits is David Letterman's Great Moments in Presidential Speeches. After a particularly funny one tonight she remarked that she wished we had recorded it.
"Wouldn't that be great to have them on tape?" she opined/asked.
Without thinking about a website mismatch I responded: "You could just go on YouTube and google all of them."
I know Google bought YouTube but I'm still quite sure I said it without a capital 'G' or the trade mark symbol (™).
Yeah yeah I know that this use of google as a verb is common. It was just because I used it expressly in connection with another website that it flicked my attention.

What's the latest stock index on Google?--is it too late? And which of the four horses is this, do you think?
ReplyDeleteAnd what kind of weird grammatical construction was that?
As I told Casey the other day, my greatest regret in life was not buying Google stock five years ago when I first started using this new-fangled interweb thing.
ReplyDeleteMy grandfather had one core invest in strategy: buy things that people either can't live without or think they can't live without. Oil. Drugs. Big hurricane coming? Buy Home Depot. As soon as I started using the internet, I knew Google was one of those stocks. At the time, it was about 50$ a share.
Casey--Google closed today at 522.65 a share.
Oh, tell Buffy that Lettermen's Presidential Speech bits are also my favorite part of the show.
