Technology writer **Nick Bilton** argued in a recent post that start-ups today have the ultimate goal of becoming a verb. Such as "I'll Facebook you later." Or "Let's Google that and see if you're right."

In thinking about this, I noticed that there are very few companies turned into verbs – that I know of – that apply to music. Well, that's not entirely true. "I'll BitTorrent those albums later." That's a common expression. But, I don't think "I'm going to Ping that song!" will catch on anytime soon. "I'm going to iTunes that song." That's used.

**Are there any others? Want to MOG with me later?**
