More Technology-Speak

More on Talking About Technology:

These are technologies that have become verbs. I left out some obvious candidates.

What I listed before:

Napster
camcord
Google
portalize

Other obvious candidates:

Tivo
blog

The question is not simply whether other, older technologies gave us new vocabularies (of course, they did). I wonder whether those older technologies actually became the primary terms for describing how we use those technologies. “Xerox”? “Fax”? Are there others?
