Google buys Blogger
Quote: "Google, which runs the Web's premier search site, has purchased Pyra Labs, a San Francisco company that created some of the earliest technology for writing weblogs, the increasingly popular personal and opinion journals.
The buyout is a huge boost to an enormously diverse genre of online publishing that has begun to change the equations of online news and information."
Comment: Very significant...in terms of boosting Blogger...and the entire field of blogging.
