Is there a Bloogle in your future?: Google purchases Pyra Labs, purveyors of Blogger.com and Blogspot.com. Amit J. Patel, in a Slashdot comment, coined the name "bloogle" and "Gooblogs". I like Bloogle. Definitely conveys the essence of this acquistion. Yahoo has its Groups and Google has its Bloggers.
