    This whole IPO is going to change the Facebook experience. As utopian wrote above, Mark never wanted to go public. I don't think he ever even imagined Facebook making him a billionaire. I think he just wanted to make an impact on social networking, something that people would use and enjoy. I don't think he imagined Facebook focusing on revenue streams and answering to shareholders.

    Now, with Facebook gone public, they will have to answer to shareholders in a whole new way. Revenue will be scrutinized. Facebook will be forced to further monetize its product and the impact will be clear to most users. It's just a matter of time before it's even more ad-riddled.
