Just finished the minimum viable prototype for a identity and permissions brokering network: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLU1TJmMSjo&feature=plcp

I'll be initially offering services such as single sign on and aggregated micropayments... think being able to charge as low as $0.25 / month / user for your service, without requiring users to sign up for a long period (which can hurt signup rates) or being hit with a $0.30 fee per transaction.

You can poke at the first demo yourself at http://prototype.projectmaelstrom.com

Neat. What types of scenarios do you see where site owners would be looking to charge people very low prices for software like $0.25/month?

My first target market will not necessarily be for software, but for subscriptions to content. I'm thinking webcomics, small online news outlets, professional blogs, etc. Anywhere that is traditionally supported by advertising.

Ah, okay. That makes sense and sounds like it has the potential to be pretty lucrative.
