Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) executives are becoming more
talkative now.
First it was Founder and Chief Executive Mark
Zuckerberg who decided to show
himself last month at a technology conference in San Francisco. He also
answered queries about the company’s current and future plans and seemed
willing to assuage investors' concerns about the company's growth prospects.
Now Chief Operating Officer, Sheryl Sandberg is also
offering her explanations. The lady recently sat down for a detailed interview
with CNBC and answer questions about the company's future.

She expressed her disappointment with the IPO debacle
of the company but would not be drawn into apportioning any blame for it.
“We’re taking that energy and really focusing on
proving to the world that we can continue to grow our business, continue to
grow our users and their engagement, and build a great company, not just for a
quarter, but hopefully for decades and decades.”
She explained that while staff was disappointed about
the company's sliding share prices, Facebook tended to attract employees who
were focussed more on the social network's mission and on building innovative
features and products.
Sandberg said that the company had become more
focussed on monetising its huge user base after the IPO.
“I think what
we’ve done since the IPO is continue to really focus on building that business.
And I think we’re executing better and better.”
She revealed that the company is looking at new
revenue streams such as selling premium services or businesses that could
include the likes of analytics or customer service.
“We’ve heard
from businesses all over the world that they want more from us. There are
things they’d pay for they really want us to provide. So it’s an area that
we’re currently starting to explore.”
Shares of FB extended gain in Monday’s session and
rose another 1.52% after surging 6.60% in Friday’s session.
