[OpenID] FreeYourID shutting down

[Nash, Andrew]

I explicitly avoided the term "money" and used "value"

Ad revenue is an obvious, but seldom well executed monetization
technique. Identity information and its value when used under
appropriate conditions is core to creating a business here

Value as measured in objective cash, or information? Ads are considered
one form of monetization; a business model here might sidestep the
middleman (money) and look for value measured by data.
