It's offiicial - 'Google' is a verb

Since Google founders Larry Page and Serge Brin brought Google to life in September 1998, the word 'Google' has become synonymous with searching the web and now has been officially classified as a verb.

Google, googled, and googling are words now used so commonly that dictionaries are adding the transitive verb in their upcoming editions.

To be grammatically correct, by the way, use lowercase 'g' when used generically and an uppercase 'G' when referring to the use of the Google search engine.

So have you Googled today?
