Google+ Replaces Blogger and Picasa According to Mashable Report

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." Several other Google brands are likely to be affected, though our sources made it clear thatYouTube would not be rebranded. The technology giant shut down Google Video, its failed web video service, in May.

The move isn't without precedent; Google acquired JotSpot in 2006 and rebranded it as Google Sites in 2008. In 2007, Google acquired VOIP platform GrandCentral and relaunched it as Google Voicein 2009.

Picasa and Blogger were also Google acquisitions, although both companies have been part of the Google empire for far longer. Picasa was acquired in 2004 and Blogger (co-founded by Evan Williams of Twitter) was acquired in 2003 and is one of the top 10 most visited websites in the world. Although the rebranding could upset some existing customers, it also gives Google the ability to completely integrate both services into Google+.

Rebranding Coming in Next Six Weeks

The transition from Picasa and Blogger to Google Photos and Google Blogs will occur "in a month to a month and a half," we've been told. The date aligns with the likely public launch of Google+.Mashable has been told to expect the public debut of Google+ on or before July 31. The date is important because it's the day all private Google Profiles will be deleted.

We believe Google doesn't want to have private profiles after the public Google+ launch. Instead, the company is likely to encourage users who want more privacy to use Circles to curate their friend groups.

The brand unification effort will be the largest in company history — it's never renamed a property as large as Blogger. The popular blog creation service has been receiving a lot of extra love recently. In March, Google announced that Bloggerwould receive a major overhaul. We doubt many people expected that the overhaul would include a rebranding, though.

Google+ makes perfect sense for Blogger and Picasa — they are both social products that improve as more people use them. It's important to note that Google+ already has a photos feature, a product that we believe utilizes Picasa technology. It's also important to note that Google+'s photo feature has no Picasa branding of any kind.

Update: Google declined to comment on this story.

Bryan Bros. Reach Wimbledon Final for the 5th time . . . check out some sick points on these two clips . . . Coach B

Bryans Advance To Fifth Wimbledon Final

by ATP Staff,  July 1, 2011

Bryan, Bryan

Top seeds Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan advanced to their fifth Wimbledon final, but were pushed to a five-set battle by No. 6 seeds Michael Llodra and Nenad Zimonjic on Friday.  The Bryans hung on to win 6-4, 6-4, 6-7(8), 6-7(4), 9-7 in three hours and 37 minutes.

The 2006 champions held three match points in the third set tie-break, but Llodra and Zimonjic denied the twins a straight-sets victory.  After winning the fourth set, the French-Serbian tandem opened a 4-1 lead in the fifth set, before the Bryans clawed their way back to even the set at 4-4.  Finally, with spectacular returns in the 15th game, the No. 1 seeds broke and then Mike Bryan served it out to clinch the victory.

The Bryans will look to win their second title at the All England Club on Saturday when they face 8th-seeded Robert Lindstedt and Horia Tecau, who are appearing in the final for the second year in a row.  Should the Americans win their 11th major championship, they will tie Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde for the most Grand Slam team titles.
