Google to retire Blogger & Picasa brands - CNN.com
Say goodbye to the Picasa and Blogger names: Google intends to retire several non-Google name brands and rename them as Google products, Mashable has learned.
The move is part of a larger effort to unify its brand for the public launch of Google+, the search giant's social initiative.
Blogger and Picasa aren't going away, of course -- they're two of Google's most popular products. Instead, according to two sources familiar with the matter, Google intends to rename Picasa "Google Photos" and Blogger will become "Google Blogs."
This is very unlikely, or if so, will be a brave though ill-advised change for Google. Picasa and Blogger have brand reputation, and taking that away will confuse their users.
