After receiving numerous requests from clients, it looks as if the search engine king will be adding Blogger to Google Apps suite (which is used primarily by businesses and schools around the world).
9 of the top 20 requests from Google Apps customers are for their accounts to work with more services from Google, not just for the core suite of messaging and collaboration applications. Later this year we’ll dramatically accelerate customer access to innovation, and give users the convenience of using any Google service allowed by their administrator from a single account affiliated with their organization.
For example, coworkers will be able to publish their organization’s blog on Blogger, share project images with Picasa Web Albums, track industry news in Google Reader, advertise online with AdWords and much more, all without switching back and forth between multiple accounts.

This should help broaden Blogger’s lead over WordPress, the latter who currently trails BlogSpot despite being heavily embraced by professional bloggers, celebrities and news organizations.
According to Compete, Blogger is already the number one blogging platform in the US, although that could change due to WordPress’s aggressive embrace of the mobile world (especially upon the iPhone, Blackberry and Android devices).
It will be interesting to see whether Blogger’s inclusion within Google Apps increases its appeal beyond the small business market, although I would not be surprised to see WordPress counter this move by embracing Google’s ancient nemesis Microsoft.

One thing to note — those compete.com metrics don’t include mapped domain blogs on WordPress.com – such as my own raanan.com blog which maps on top of raanan.wordpress.com.
For more accurate WordPress.com #s, check out the Quantcast report: http://www.quantcast.com/p-18-mFEk4J448M . That shows WordPress.com at close to 80M monthly U.S. uniques, and over 245M global monthly uniques.

That’s true, but I guess the same can be said for Blogger too.
Quantcast is a good metric to use, but Unless a site is “quantified,” it’s estimates are suspicious. Blogger doesn’t use Quantcast, but Compete & Google Analytics.
I used Compete as they’re neutral and accurate, although they only measure US traffic (which is sad if you ask me).

I believe WordPress should not be alarmed with Google and Blogger. A lot of bloggers would choose wordpress over Blogger because WordPress is user friendly and have a lot of options to choose from. It is true that when you use blogger you can easily integrate your Adsense account but it is limited there. With WordPress, you can also integrate everything that you desire and your blog will become more famous because of the other features that you can have (widgets and Appearance setting). Anyway, this article will clear out everything between WordPress and Blogger users.
Thank you very much!

great post Darnell!
blogger which is own by google is search engine friendly in google search engine (no doubt about it). and from my own experiences, if google apps has added blogger in their services, it will make your website more search engines friendly, which mean your site will get more traffics. that’s the ultimate benefits for us.
Yes, if you enjoy to use plug-in , add-on for your blog, custom scripts, then wordpress is better, but what is our main purpose when we’re build a website or blog? i bet the answer is, search engines friendly site, more traffics, better page ranks and profitable website isn’t it?
blooger on google apss is awesome! ….great articles darnell ! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your ideas listed here. The other thing is that if a problem develops with a computer motherboard, folks should not take the risk regarding repairing this themselves because if it is not done correctly it can lead to irreparable damage to an entire laptop. It will always be safe to approach a dealer of a laptop for that repair of motherboard. They’ve got technicians with an experience in dealing with notebook motherboard difficulties and can carry out the right diagnosis and perform repairs.

The following time I read a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I imply, I know it was my option to read, however I truly thought youd have one thing attention-grabbing to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you can fix if you happen to werent too busy looking for attention.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

I have mastered some points through your website post. One other stuff I would like to say is that there are lots of games available and which are designed specifically for toddler age little ones. They incorporate pattern recognition, colors, creatures, and patterns. These often focus on familiarization rather than memorization. This makes a child occupied without having a sensation like they are learning opserfd.
