I&#x27;m surprised with how many comments here are focusing on Zuck and not the market play for Facebook.<p>I&#x27;ve worked at large companies that claim to be innovative. More often than not, short-term demands made by Wall Street guide business decisions in increasingly poor ways (reducing employee benefits, stymieing R&amp;D, etc.)<p>This announcement obviously helps Zuckerberg personally, but it does also provide a signal to the market for Facebook&#x27;s direction.
