With the launch of Google+ there's some other developments in store as well, called "brand unification."
See Mashable!, "EXCLUSIVE: Google To Retire Blogger & Picasa Brands in Google+ Push."
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.Meanwhile, it looks like Ann Althouse has gotten the full archives from Google, and should be making her switch-over soon. See, "'Hello. I am on the Blogger team and am one of the guys who has been helping Ann with her blog...'"
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.” Several other Google brands are likely to be affected, though our sources made it clear that YouTube would not be rebranded. The technology giant shut down Google Video, its failed web video service, in May.

I've one word for you:
WORDPRESS
I'm looking into it! Here.
Blogger has sucked lately anyway. Little irritating problems. They need to work on that before just changing the name.
The disappearance/closure of Myspace is similar: there were more archives! So, now, with regard to the archiving of blogs on his computer, he comes into play an element of importance: the failure. And, today, when a laptop is down: it takes! (archives with!).
Hence the interest to archive/burn its documents on disk CD.
