The service Bloglines provides it too high quality to be given away indefinitely. I can see them putting contextual ads above the title of each blog in the "post viewing" pane without a problem. For example, your RSS feed appears in a two-tone blue/light blue header. If they simply put a contextual text ad above that, I think users will have no problem with it. They already do a good job of suggesting other blogs for you to read based on your current subscriptions, so I'm sure that their contextual ads will also be quite relevant.

I would certainly pay to use advanced features. A much better idea for bloglines is to offer power features for subscribers to the service. I would certainly pay to use advanced features.
