Sorry the code was like this

  Dim selenium
  Set selenium = CreateObject("SeleniumWrapper.WebDriver")
  selenium.start "firefox", "https://www.google.com/"
  selenium.setImplicitWait 5000  
  selenium.open "http://www.perfectseotools.com/free-article-rewriter/default.aspx"
  selenium.type "id=txtText", "" & forspin & ""

I've played your script and it worked on every steps. There is no text typed as 
your variable forspin is not assigned. As far as i know it could also be an 
antivirus, antispyware or peerblock who's blocking the automation.
Here is your script with the root url corrected and some content to type :

Set selenium = CreateObject("SeleniumWrapper.WebDriver")
selenium.setImplicitWait 5000
selenium.start "firefox", "http://www.perfectseotools.com"
selenium.open "/free-article-rewriter/default.aspx"
selenium.type "id=txtText", "lorem ipsum"
selenium.clickAndWait "id=btnSubmit"
spinedtext = selenium.getText("css=div.blk-content")
MsgBox(spinedtext)

I would try to temporally disable each of them one by one and see if it works. 
If you don't feel comfortable this way, I recommend you to work on a virtual 
machine like Virtual PC.

I would also try to use a Firefox profile just in case it's a proxy issue. You 
must first create the "Selenium" profile in Firefox 
(http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-p
rofiles ). Here is an example on how to use it :

Set selenium = CreateObject("SeleniumWrapper.WebDriver")
selenium.setImplicitWait 5000
selenium.setProfile "Selenium"
selenium.start "firefox", "http://www.perfectseotools.com"
selenium.open "/free-article-rewriter/default.aspx"
