Nothing will be sacred except for Timeline/profile pages.
But everything else will get a massive facelift as Zuck tries to fix the mess than the homepage and a lot of the rest of the site experience has become to build energy pre-IPO.
Those were the days.

“The next time you take a swipe at Social Media Experts, imagine you had just been stuck in the job of responding to all the tweets sent about Sony – Playstation and films and phones and televisions and hacks by Anonymous and their record labels and semiconductor operations. Imagine even finding the person in the organization that should answer each of those tweets. Imagine writing the guidelines for those people. Imagine accidentally asking a product designer a question, posting his answer, and then accidentally launching a press frenzy. It’s a thankless, crappy enough job without people insinuating that you have no skill.” —

Being paid to be a Social Media Expert would be amazing.

Haha dude, I am not a social media expert. I woke up at two. My primary accomplishment today was listening to the new Tindersticks album and making an omelette. According to Klout, I am highly influential about Elton John. I currently have no income.

“The list is the origin of culture. It’s part of the history of art and literature. What does culture want? To make infinity comprehensible. It also wants to create order — not always, but often. And how, as a human being, does one face infinity? How does one attempt to grasp the incomprehensible? Through lists, through catalogs, through collections in museums and through encyclopedias and dictionaries. There is an allure to enumerating how many women Don Giovanni slept with: It was 2,063, at least according to Mozart’s librettist, Lorenzo da Ponte. We also have completely practical lists — the shopping list, the will, the menu — that are also cultural achievements in their own right.” — Umberto Eco on Lists and Making Infinity Comprehensible
