They certainly have a business model. Advertising. Problem is, they haven't accepted who their paying customers really are: Advertisers.

Monetizing Facebook's Feed is tricky business.

"Your best friend just got dumped by his cheating finance...brought to you by Carl's Jr." will not go over as well as Carl's Jr. intended.

But it is pretty interesting how they microtarget ads. I've seen my staunch republican friend login to facebook. She gets ads like "Do you feel the election was stolen? Voice your thoughts here."

Where as I get ads indie rock music sites and student loan "bail outs".
