A New Blogger

So, its official. Blogger is now Google's. I haven't been visiting blogspot lately and so came to know of this pretty late in the day. But whatever, the one question people have been asking, is "why blogger".

The following are the recent M&A's effected by Google Inc in the recent past:

Google, is probably the most frequently typed word on the address bar of just executed browser application. And, that's what Google Inc continues to want to happen. It knows quite keenly that in order to stay at that esteemed position it needs to "offer services that are unparalleled". This would imply a scenario in which I'd rather google to find out what I did last summer rather than refer to my personal diary.
