If you're running your own site, what's to stop you from transferring to a different blogging tool (MT/Greymatter/other poison of choice) if Blogger starts inserting ads? I run MT on my site, and it has a bookmarklet feature that is quite similar in function to Blogger's BlogThis! tool. Blogger may have an advertising monopoly over everyone on Blogspot, but as soon as they start including advertising on self-hosted sites, those sites will just switch to a different tool.
