Google buys Pyra

Just a few months ago i wrote about how the Google guys have done it again: put a twist on a basic web service and brought it to a new level (Google News). Reading today's news of Google buying Pyra Labs, i can't even imagine what new possibilities this opens for the blogworld.

Google has been excellent at indexing weblogs and making sure that the voices of blogs were being heard no matter what you are searching for (see my previous thoughts on this). I am looking forward to seeing what comes out of their working together with the pyra team.

A few years ago the big big innovator company of the net was amazon.com. For a few months, even a year now, that award no doubt goes to the Google team. I think I would pay them to be able to work for them. ;) It must be fascinating (and exhausting).
