Google Sitemaps has been renamed to Webmaster Central. Basically, it will be the place for Webmasters to check the health of their sites in Google.

Other improvements and features there also.

FYI - conference coverage of SES San Jose today. So normal blog schedule will be slow. Expect a ton of conference real time posts.
