At some point "to google" will be so old, it will become irregular too.

  You mean like "Yesterday, I giggled"?

    Also possibly like geegled, from gögled, or goegled. The old way was for broad vowels to become slender, for either pluralisation of nouns or for thingumming of verbs. A, O, and U would be broad vowels, and I and E slender, and the whole bucket of dipthongs follow somehow. Or should it be that the whole bucket of dipthongs follows? I, personally, support metonymic shifts.

      does it have to end in -ed? google/gogle/goglen, a-la "choose". e.g: "Googlicity is defined as the ratio of people who gogle your name in the last year over the total number of times you have been goglen."

        You're right, strong verbs never get -ed at the end.
