Google buys Blogger
Big news is already being followed by big worries from Bloggers (“Will the ‘Man’ ruin a good thing”). Me, initial impressions think it’ll be OK, especially if they can match relevant GoogleAds (no doubt replacing pyrAds) with the relevant blogs and leverage the blogosphere to improve Google News. Maybe they’ll buy Salon, too.
(Nice to see that San Jose Mercury News decided to break this online — no doubt to leverage the blogging attention.)
