From A Slang To Becoming A Verb


"Let me GOOGLE it."
"You should TWEET that."
"Do you want to SKYPE now?"
"I went and YOUTUBE some old MTVs."
"That has obviously been PHOTOSHOPPED."
"Let me BING you now."

You could have said one or even all of the above today and some of these have gotten the official stamp of approval to enter the English-language dictionaries. 

That also means, one day, down the road, we could end up Googling something on Bing or photoshop something in Paint!


Think about it for a second, when it comes to branding, may be this is when becoming a verb isn't such a good idea afterall.
