Blogbridge Service Upgrade

BlogBridge, the java based feed aggregator I've been praising in the past, has decided to turn their great BlogBridge service into a three-level plan where you can pay to get additional features. The three levels (Free, Basic and Publishing) offer different feature sets, and the paid levels are pre-paid for a three month period payable via PayPal or credit card. Most users will probably find that the Free plan offer the feature set they want, so I don't see this as a bad move. In fact, I'm happy that this might actually turn into something profitable for the developers. Pito and Aleksey from the BlogBridge team sent me a very nice email a few days ago, informing me that I would be receiving a complimentary 2 year "Basic" BlogBridge Service Subscription, and I quote:

Because you have helped, supported, contributed or otherwise been a fan of BlogBridge we've set you up with a 2 year "Basic" BlogBridge Service Subscription. You will not notice a whole lot of difference to be honest, but it will let you continue to enjoy BlogBridge like you have in the past you won't be asked to pay anything.

Thank you Pito and Aleksey, all I did was to write about software I like and use on a daily basis. I certainly didn't expect to get anything in return. In addition BlogBridge has decided to give a 3 month Free “Basic” Plan service account to everyone who has used the BlogBridge Service in the past, so no-one should be left out now that the service has changed.
