Dictionary Mystery

I'd really like to know why "Google" and "bling-bling" didn't make the cut for the new edition of Webster's New World College Dictionary. "Google," especially, since it's such a common word nowadays and doesn't really seem to be the fly-by-night kind of word prescriptivists moan about being added to the dictionary. The editor just sort of casually dismisses it.
