Blogger and Google

How'd this partnership come about?

What did Blogger.com do to entice Google into listing them on their toolbar of all places? There is obviously no love given to the blogger's sites because everyone I saw had a PR of 0.

Does anyone actually USE this button? Do you think Google tracks the number of people that blog a site? I just don't see any possible gain for Google in this... Am I blind

Google owns Blogger :)

OOOOhhhhhhh... I see... interesting. That would explain Blogger's recent addition of Adsense to the list of options for a new account.

Just signed up for my blog... Gonna do adsense on it too. Maybe I can cash in. :)

We'll see if my links to my own site are picked up from within Blogger. I'm guessing no because of all the PR 0's.
