I read this as:

Monetizing your movie information. Monetizing your literature information. Promoting Facebook apps. Stepping slightly away from the UX atrocity that is Timeline.

I have no problem with any of those. But I wonder about the ordering - is this announcement aimed at investors or users?

It can't be for users. As a user (I log in multiple times a day) I have not visited my own FB profile in ages. I have no need to do so.

I fairly often look at Timeline - usually when I remember a posted link, associate it with a particular person, but it's no longer obvious on my own wall.

Which, of course, brings me to the fact that searching for posted content is so sucky despite being such an obvious candidate for monetization. I have no idea what they're smoking up in Menlo Park.

I use it quite a bit...I've been using it as my personal journal (setting the default post setting to be shown to "Only Me") and it's still the page I see when checking other friends' activity
