The End of Free

January 10, 2002 by Michael Boyle

The End of Free

indeed. It seems that Blogger will soon cease to be a free-only web app. Some are predicting that the anouncement Evan is going to make will be a Blogger Premium service.

I’m certain that lots of people will become very discombobulated over this news, but I think it’s great news and wish Evan all the luck in the world with the new service.

The idealist in me (who really knows nothing of the back-story of the demise of the original Pyra) kinda wishes that they could have gotten this together a year or so ago so that that whole gang could have stuck it out as a team. But again, I know little to nothing of the back-story there, so it’s sort of ridiculous to suggest it.
