Ten years after the graphical browser, Google Buys Pyra and Blogging Goes Big-Time. Weblogs are going Googling. Last night, Google acquired Pyra Labs, the San Francisco company which created some of the earliest tools (Blogger & Blogspot) for publishing weblogs, the increasingly popular personal and opinion journals. - MSFT, IBM & SUNW will follow suit. Targets include Radio Userland and Movable Type. Dave Winer is hoping for Bill’s call right now, but they may build not buy. - Words from Evan Williams, Ev speaks, Doug Rushkoff, Tony Pierce, Jeff Jarvis, Anil Dash, Joho, Shelley Powers, New York Times, Gillmor’s Sunday column, Reverse Cowgirl, Nick Denton, Cory Doctorow, Matt Webb, Dan Bricklin, Forbes, and SearchEngineWatch. - People seem to overlook Google’s first content acquisition.
