Everything new about facebook (widgets/apps/etc) is more or less opposite from why everyone old joined up. The only feature change that improved the facebook/brought in more people was the newsfeed and that was only after initially running into a huge resistance against it from within the community.
Hustling to find a way to monetize the users by continuing to add features isn't going to get them far. What else could be done to dramatically alter the experience and generate more people or more activity? I think the success has gone to Mark's head and agree that he should cash out now.
Not to say that it won't be a service used by millions for years to come, but the model for growth seems to have hit it's peak.
