Some interesting points from the interview:
* The new site design allows to display more recent activity with friends.
* The site is focusing on sharing and pushing content towards others more efficiently.
* Facebook is trying to reward developers that build applications that help users share information.
* The company constantly tests ads to find the best placement.
* Facebook Connect is also focused on sharing. I’m detecting a theme here : )
* Facebook is not necessarily designed to generate revenue at all costs. It is more focused on growing the ecosystem and developing the customer experience first and foremost.
* Since the company is privately owned, it is insulated from certain pressures.
* Everyone in the world is a potential customer who can get value from the service.
