how about a non-ads business? they add a ton of value by serving as the identity provider for the web, but all they're monetizing is pageviews... you would think they could/should capture some of the value they create at some point.

Are you saying they should charge websites to use their login with Facebook feature? Is that even worth paying for? I'm curious what the value in that is but I don't think I would pay Facebook for their branding on my pages.
