If we said the following sentences, could Englishmen understand them？
1）You can baidu someone you've recently met to see what information is available about them on the Internet.
2） I tried baiduing but couldn't find anything relevant.
If I change the word from 'baidu' to 'google', they can surely understand them. Because the word 'google' ，from 'google', the Internet search engine , is already widely used in English world and added into their dictionaries, while 'Baidu' (百度), the search engine, is usually used in Chinese world.
This is the difference in the use of Internet search engine (differences in technology), which ultimately leads to difference in spoken language.
互联网搜索引擎使用中的不同（技术差异），最终导致语言使用中口头言语的差异。
Similar example is the word "twitter":
新牛津：

⇒ Many active bloggers are twittering more and more these days.眼下许多活跃的博主发的微博越来越多了。
