Its funny. Not funny haha, but funny peculiar, that someone would turn a phenomenal website into a new noun. The other day a client phoned to ask if they were on the Google.
"Yes, you're rated number one if you do a search for yourself." I said quickly typing the name into Google, just to check. I breathed a little sigh of relief as we made some small talk and then we said our goodbyes.
Now correct me if Im wrong, but my client had unexpectedly turned Google into a phenomenoun. How funny I thought. But maybe, how true. Google is like a knowledge tree, and a tree would of course be a noun.
So it is with some humour and some truth that we studio geeks sometimes like to refer to our favourite websites as, the Facebook, the YouTube, and lets not forget, the Google.

I just found this gem of George Bush using the same turn of phrase "The Google" in a television interview. Oh yes, he's so on it!
