Thursday Morning Riddle

I might pass through your memory when I’m around;
Transitively a verb, but more properly noun’d;
I have seen all the sights and I know where they’re found;
And I share with a number the way that I sound.

Who am I?

UPDATE: See comments for answer.

    Annalisa says “Zero” and I guessed “Sex”….

    Both creative guesses, and I see the logic in them, but both are — well, I’m hesitant to use the word “wrong” for such an interpretive activity, but let’s just say that neither answer was what I was thinking of when composing the riddle. There’s a better fit still out there.

    So the game’s still afoot…

    Well, it’s been over a month since anyone has given an answer. I guess it’s time to post the solution.

    It’s GOOGLE.

    1. memory=computer memory

    2. It’s more properly a proper noun, but transitively becoming a transitive verb.

    3. sights=sites

    4. A “Googol” is the number expressed by a one followed by one hundred zeroes.
