So what does the Google/Blogger tie-up mean?

Well, besides a potential multicoloured version of Blogger, there's the official FAQ: "Google liked our logo. And we liked their food". And then "We will be making some changes in our product line. We've been working on a new version of Blogger for some time now that will be coming out soon". Hope that means they're moving away from Microsoft SQL Server and its ilk. It was scary enough to find out my friendly neighbourhood ATM had Shiloh (Microsoft SQL Server 2000) breathing inside it.
