Google buys Pyra
Pyra, the company behind Blogger, hammered out a deal Thursday for Google to aquire the web publishing tool and it’s hosting service, Blog*Spot. Dan Gillmor broke the story. The article also links to reactions about the announcement, such as the /. thread, Ev Williams’ synchronous post, and Cory Doctorow’s comments. See all the weblogs that link to the announcement at blogdex.
