OK, so does Googling mean, only using "Google"? Can you Google on Yahoo, or Google by Mr. Jeeves, or does Googling, strictly mean using Google?
Like, take the word "Rubberband", a rubber band is still a rubberband if it is not trademarked as a "Rubberband". Same with "Q-Tip", we still call it a "Q-Tip" even if it is still not actually branded as a "Q-Tip".
And another question, can Internet be spelled with a little "i"? Some one needs to write an official rules of the Internet book.
Best,

and get daily or weekly summaries of new hits. So, Ellen you could watch
yourself weekly from now on.
My sister, E Kirsten Peters, had a Google alert on me when she worked at the
DNews. She'd send me items from time to time, about other Nils Petersons
