Google now a word


It looks like googling is now officially a real word rather than just something you do on the web.

The Oxford English Dictionary announced the inclusion of google as a verb a couple of weeks ago. Now Websters Dictionary has done the same.

Other common digitally derived terms to make it into dictionaries of late include pixelate, uninstall and the ubiquitous texting.

I just googled google on Google and it returned an incredible 2,460 billion entries!
