Brandverbing is Retarded?

Oh the irony:

Brandverbing is retarded. _You_ can’t make your brand a verb, your users and only your users can bring it into common usage, unless you pay off a bunch of legitimate journalists. -rose.water

 

Do I need to explain why this is ironic? Hint: It’s not like 10k spoons when all you need is a knife.

Jeff Random did a follow up post on the brandverb and how it is much more powerful than the brandnoun. As the owner of a brandnoun or two, I can tell you that a brandverb would be much more powerful.

Is there a way to promop your users to start brandverbing? What is your take on brandverbing? Is it possiable to get users to use a word that you just invented as a brandverb?
