Google it

It didn't take long for google to be the verb of the minute, but I'm going to propose we take the definition past, v. to search for something -- anything -- on the Internet.

Google deserves it, considering they've expanded their .com to our favorite around It's All Good, the .org.

Google.org is pretty sweet. (Thanks for the tip, Andrea!) They take what they're good at -- info and tech -- and use it to tackle some of the world's major problems: climate change, poverty and emerging diseases. It's not an entirely non-profit process. They invest in some for-profit ventures, working to develop renewable energy, alternate fuel sources, etc. And of course, they do some straight up grant-giving to their partners, too.

The Google Foundation is a separate, tax-exempt branch of Google.org, but it furthers the same goals and missions. Some Google smarty-pants took 10 percent of the 3 million shares of stock Google first offered to the public for the Foundation -- and I'm going to take a wild guess that they're doing OK. And will be for a very long time.
