Yesterday,
Facebook CFO David Wehner expressed confidence in the ramp up of new
money-making businesses during an interview with Business Insider after the Q1
results on Wednesday. Wehner cited the Facebook-owned Instagram app, as well as
the video ad format, as Facebook's main growth drivers going forward.
Wehner
continued by saying the main drivers for revenue growth going forward will be
Instagram and video ads, although Facebook's midroll video ads are still in
their "earlier days" of testing.

Thain CEO of Breaking Data said "Facebook Video is a core part of our
social media strategy, not only with video in the newsfeed by also Facebook
Live, as Facebook continue to test and roll out the midroll video we are
excited to work with them and see the results it brings to our revenue lines on
a global scale."
"The
growth in our Facebook video plays is one that we see continuing to grow
quarter by quarter as we refine our approach and look to increase the quantity
and quality of our video content output" added Mr. Thain.
