You'll have to explain to me exactly which sentence you're talking about that seems to you like it wasn't objective and was clouded by Big == Good.
Honestly, I've never been a Facebook fan and I can't stand Zuckerberg; I think he's a tool, should have cashed out at the $100B offer from MS, and he can't speak in front of an audience worth a crap... he's so broken and ?nervous? that he's almost incomprehensible. He's full of awkward pauses waiting for a laugh or applause that never comes because people are still trying to understand wtf he's talking about, lol.
That being said, in the world of the Internet, Big == Good. I mean, if you want to make cash anyway. Additionally when you're talking about the biggest site on the Internet you inherently include solving the world's largest scaleability problems. And that, in and of itself, is no easy feat.
However what I'm pointing out has nothing to do with big and everything to do with the design and the UI. The Timeline interface represents a new way to display a LOT of chronological data in a way that even the dumbest Internet user will be able to use. Browsing to find past events is really, really simple. Regardless of who created it, it's worth taking a look at. Like I mentioned before, I can envision an awesome members' area to a pay site laid out similar to Timeline. A visual browsing experience that would keep track of what you have and haven't seen as well as allow users to more easily find older but still appealing content. A system like that, which Facebook will soon be training the world how to use, should translate to higher rebill rates across the board...
Nearly every adult site content area is nothing but a glorified gallery; in the same format as a plethora of other sites (mostly due to lack of custom sites and a large number of sites built on exiting third party adult CMSs).
I say again... Say what you will about Facebook but Timeline is pretty fuckin' slick.
