googlebaiting 

(v) The practice of strategically using an oblique reference within your online profile, chat client, group tag or status message-du-jour, the understanding and appreciation of which is likely to require an extensive google search.

The cyberquivalent of Dennis Millering.

officially tallied Wit and Coup scores are dependent on the following conditions:

1. that the reference is sufficiently orthogonal to anything like "common knowledge"
2. that the particular point of the obscure reference is something cool

Extra scoring awarded if:

a) the reference constitutes a double entendre
b) the reference means something different to different people

Not to be confused with googlebating (which uses a whole other set of mouse fingers)

Googlebator 

Somebody that gets off on all things google and can't wait to get "Buzzed", catch a "Wave", and experiment with the latest lab result. This person usually has stained posters of Sergey and Larry in their bedroom and has collected every different google.com home page image and compiled it into a bed sheet that they use to wipe off the results of their excitement.
After Google Buzz was released Jon, a frequent googlebator, announced the death of twitter and all things social.
