I've just heard the verb used intransitively: 'It googles', meaning it shows up on a Google search. There are a handful of ghits for "if it googles" in this sense. It seems an obvious and useful extension.

Hmm.. Maybe it would be useful to be able to specify the part of speech?, so that we can list homophonous nouns and verbs separately?

I agree. I you are going to search for something on Wikipedia, you "Wikipedia it".

Google is perfectly fine if you use google as a verb, just if you're using their search engine with it. i.e. You can't "google" YouTube. (well, once that Google fully acquires it, I bet you can)

Xerox is often used as a verb; much like Kleenex is often used as a common noun. These usages don't seem to have caused any trademark infringement suits to be brought against the English language. If people find "to google" to be a useful word, then I say use it!

Don't use as a verb!
