Other issues we'll be watching and listening for:
- Instagram: The company just launched ads on the photo sharing platform. Will it affect revenue guidance?
- Video ads: Facebook keeps delaying the launch of these auto-play spots that are reportedly coming with a hefty price tag in the millions.
- Mobile app install ads: Facebook has made a big deal of the success of these ad units which urge people to download stuff onto their phones. Will we get new numbers?
- Forrester: The research group put out a much-criticized report this week. We'll see if CEO Mark Zuckerberg or COO Sheryl Sandberg feel stung enough by it to make some anti-Forrester zingers.
