Blogger Profiles
Google has done a very nice update (IMHO) to their web site, and seemingly, to their infrastructure as well. The latest release sports a new feature, Blogger Profiles. As they note on the site:
Blogger Profiles let you find people and blogs that share your interests. And your profile lets people find you (but only if you want to be found).
Your Blogger Profile lists your blogs, your recent posts, and more. Clicking on interests or location takes you to other people's profiles, whose blogs you might enjoy.
Naturally, this has me wondering a bit why there hasn't been any form of integration between Orkut and Blogger as profile were added. I can't imagine that going forward, as Google shows more of its hand, that we won't see some deeper integration between these two services.. if not the potential convergence of the two.
