Blogger Pro now free!

In light of the recent announcement that Google will now offer Blogger Pro for free, I gotta wonder what that will do to other blogging companies like TypePad who are building serious business models around offering blogging services.

I've never used Blogger Pro, but I somehow doubt that the TypePad service and is that much more advanced than Blogger Pro to gather a serious amount of users over Blogger. The browser wars, open source and Napster have shown us that free is hard to compete with.

I suppose TypePad will have to work hard to differentiate themselves from Blogger. I'm curious to see how this will pan out in the end -- unlike the browser wars I'm fond of both sides of this face-off...
