I'm actually kinda surprised they did such a big revamp of Blogger, when I thought in some ways they wanted to position Google+ as sort of a replacement - being able to create public posts that are as long as you want, follow people without them following you back, etc. I wonder if there will end up being some cross-over between the two applications.

I'd bet you that it's coming -- my gut tells me they've focused the big guns on G+ and then will swing back to feature up other products to get a halo effect.
+1 (no pun intended) those services clearly have a large overlap. And there's also google pages.
On a related note, wordpress.com/.org, thumblr did manage to held quite firmly. This also sounds like, not letting blogger degrade into an obsolete bulk, which clearly was (is?) happening.
