      They may. I say "MSN me" all the time when referring to IMs.

      No, they will continue to say "let me google that". Years from now when a small child asks you, "what does google mean?", you can say, "there used to be a company a long time ago that had something Microsoft wanted..."

    So how long is it before we start seeing the headlines "Google is dead!"

    (Not that I want to see google go, but everything else is dead. Apple, Tivo, BSD, and etc.)

    "We're really close to finding out what really strikes consumers as the most relevant search results," said Karen Redetzki, an MSN product manager.

    Tranalation: After several years of weekly strategy meetings with high-paid analysts and consultants we have discovered that people do not, in fact, want advertisements to be displayed with search results.

    I'm not sure that Google has killed thousands of people, extorted money from collonies, and levered social unbalance accross massive continents!
