Techy Fact

According to Mashable.com, a Google staffer is commonly referred to as a "Googler," while a new team member joins as a "Noogler." Nooglers also used to wear a colorful hat with a spinner on top. According to a former employee, those hats are now pretty scarce in some offices; instead: "Every Noogler gets a yellow smiley balloon and a nameplate."
