Where have I seen this *exact sentence* before?

Nice example, though Facebook isn't (officially) supporting OpenID 
yet, as a Relying Party *or* a Provider; still, identitu.de worked 
around that with Facebook's API:

A pity it doesn't seem to be operational anymore. Anyway - it's a big 
leap from "Facebook measures the popularity of its applications to 
internal users" to "all RP's will get additional pageviews every time 
OpenID is used", and I'm still not getting why RP's would/should 
*care* about the pageviews anymore.
