Google Blogs, I guess

So, Google and the Blogger people are making a new version of the Blogger software that would work with Google. Go figure. Here's some features:

• Don’t limit yourself to “reverse chronological” publishing. Our advanced Google algorithms put your best content at the top of your blog. Even if your later work goes downhill your previous posts will still shine.

What? Best content? Work goes downhill? We're fucking bloggers not authors or journalist.

• No more template languages to mess with or sidebars to get right. Our advanced Google algorithms automatically populate your blog’s sidebar with the most relevant possible content.

This seems to take away the most fun part of setting up my blog: putting on all the neat little gadgets! I hope I can turn it off.

• Stop worrying about your PageRank or your search engine optimization. Post directly into Google search results for maximum visibility.

I don't even know what the point of this is. Probably because I don't know what it is.

• Save your readers time and effort. We’ll automatically extract the most relevant sentence from your post for the index page, along with any necessary ellipsis. We'll also put some words in bold!

Oh boy. Bold letters. Doesn't this look awesome? I know it doesn't get annoying at all, ever. And I love ellipses: This blog is . . . awesome.

• Your blog’s header will stay fresh with new images from our team of artists, each and every anniversary of a scientific achievement.

Scientific acheivement? Wait, are they gonna turn this place into the Google logo? Like, will my page be all red white and blue for 4th of July or something stupid like that?

• Unsure of what to post about? Just click “I’m Feeling Lucky” and we’ll “take care” of the rest!

Hah. The cure for writers block: Gettin' someone else to write it for you! Oh wait...

Edit: This is probably an April fool, actually, but meh.
