Googledotted

Like being Slashdotted only the traffic is from Google, usually when they've adapted their logo to celebrate a special day (like Van Gogh's birthday).

But should it be spelt with an initial capital or not?

Artist Vincent van Gogh was born in the Netherlands March 30, 1853, and today Google celebrates his birthday with a special logo. As usual, the top-ranked site for the search result the logo links to is completely googledotted.
