+* Persona:  An open authentication system for the web  gives you the fantastic convenience of social sign-in, without sacrificing your privacy.
-Central to a people-centered ecosystem is an identity system that is under the control of the individual, and enables information sharing on the users own terms with no take-it-or-leave-it policies. To this end, Mozilla is building an identity system for the Web that has these properties.
+* Firefox Accounts:  A single account, built on Persona, that brings a growing ecosystem of useful services to any firefox user.
+* Sync.next: The new Sync - it does what you expect, its built on Firefox Accounts, and lets you access your data wherever you are.
-The first service we're building, Persona, enables users to easily sign into websites using their existing email address in a secure and privacy-protecting way, with no additional passwords. For developers, it offers a very easy to implement API, and a verified email address they can use to communicate with the user.
-User identities encompass much more than just an email address, of course, and so the next components of the Mozilla identity system will include payments, profile and data sharing on the users terms and more.
