"If I can monotize effectively a website with 20 pages, why can't they do it with their users!"

Because the audience is most likely completely different. People don't go to Facebook to have advertisements or products thrown at them. If your site sells a product or service that you can offer, then it makes sense that you can monetize it because people actually find your site when they're looking for it.

I've said it before and I'l say it again. The CEO should be replaced. There's absolutely no doubt that Mark has done great things, but taking a leaf from the Sergey and Larry book is what he should do... get an executive in there with plenty of tech experience. Mark can still remain the idea guy, but there needs to be a CEO with more execution experience than Mark.
