Picasa to Become ‘Google Photos’ and Blogger to ‘Google Blogs’

Google to rename all its non-Google name brands and rename them as Google products, as per a report on mashable. Picasa and Blogger are the first ones to get a name change. The move is part of a larger effort to unify its brand for the public launch of Google+ social network.

Google intends to rename Picasa as “Google Photos” and Blogger will become “Google Blogs“. The rebranding gives Google the ability to completely integrate both services into Google+. Rebranding is expected in the next six weeks.

Several other Google brands are likely to be affected, though sources made it clear that YouTube would not be rebranded.
