Who's Sick of GoogTube? Anyone?

All I can say is, please, please don’t let this GoogTube thing catch on. Somehow I think it’s too late. It seems like every RSS feed and blog post I’ve read in the past week that touches on either Google or YouTube has employed this dreaded conflation.

– An implement used to snort a designer drug

– Something employed by a proctologist

– A killer winter sport, as in “Dude, I totally jammed my skeez GoogTubin’ at Shasta this weekend.”

– The time warp an obsessed industry blogger falls into after over-analyzing an acquisition
