BlogSpirit is free for now, according to the fine print:
"Time-restricted warranty. BlogSpirit.com Service is a commercial Service and BlogSpirit will NEVER claim to charge nothing for BlogSpirit.com Service forever." (Section 9.2)
In fact, Philippe Pinault, the owner, already announced that they will offer premium services at 4.00 EUR per month which translates to about 280.00 PHP. It's roughly the same cost as the basic package of my lost love, TypePad, at 4.95 USD.
(Side comment: his name sounds like "Filipino".)
I'll give BlogSpirit a try (see jesse.blogspirit.com) because of the following reasons:
1. It has a free option, which TypePad got rid of, with 10MB disk space and 250MB bandwidth per month.
2. It has categories for posts, which Blogger.com does not have.
3. It has photo albums and lists, ripped off from TypePad.
4. It's actually French.
Aside from all that, Blogger.com remains at the top of my list. It's free, simple, extremely useful, with unlimited bandwidth and storage. Plus, Google owns it.
The weirdest thing about BlogSpirit is that it has been shy about revealing who they are and their intentions. In contrast, the TypePad people have distinguished themselves with their transparency and familiarity.
It turns out that BlogSpirit is a French venture, sister company of an e-business solutions provider, Mandarina, both owned and founded by 27-year old Monsieur Pinault. It's all in his blog.
