Rumors: Picasa, Blogger changing names

It looks like Google is in it for real this time! Rumors at Mashable say that Google is planning to rename Picasa to "Google Photos" and the popular Blogspot/Blogger blogging service to "Google Blogs". Please note this is only a rebranding, the services are not going away! (via PMA NL)
