Google Apps for Domains to include Blogger, Picasa among other apps

As some of you may know, Google Apps is a free (depending on the package you choose) offering from Google. In a nutshell, it's a branded GMail and Google Calendar and Google Docs instance. It can be "skinned" to some extent to match your organization, and it's all hosted by Google and provided to you free of charge (or for some $ you can get additional benefits, like 25GB mailboxes and priority support).

Google recently announced that they will expand their offering beyond the core suite of apps (see above) and the Apps Marketplace. They plan to include support for Blogger (blogging tool) and Picasa (photo management) as well!
