Is Google Making Us Stupid?
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?
When I listed this, I had the verb in mind.

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!
