When choosing a blogging service three things play most important role.
1. Template Editing
2. Huge Image Storage capacity
3. Huge Video storage Capacity.
So acc. to me Blogger has all these three features and undoubtedly it helps teenagers and people from other classes who can't afford to pay online.
Blogger is surely the best free Blogging service available in Blogosphere if equipped with good webHosting Service.
