Google Buys Blogger, Begets Bloogle?
[via Brad Choate]
According to Dan Gillmor, Google has purchased Pyra Labs, the company behind Blogger and some say the weblog revolution. From the article:
Part of that vision, shared by other blogging pioneers, has been to help democratize the creation and flow of news in a world where giant companies control so much of what most people see, hear and read. Weblogs are also becoming a valuable communication tool for groups of people, and have begun to infiltrate the corporate, university and government spheres.
In this article I wrote:
Will blogging be the death of Google? I don’t think so - they will continue to adjust as needed…
Adjust indeed - this is getting good.
