Will Facebook remain a private company?
Not likely. Even if Facebook could monetize to the point of being self maintaining, the larger the company the more likely it will become publically owned.

Are facebook's costs growing because Facebook is growing?
Well of course. But, if the company is well run they should be actually being helped by economy of scale. As they gain size it becomes cheaper to support one more customer; however, that additional customer is worth the same amount as the first.

Is Facebook short on money?
I think it's likely that this is the case but because it's not a public company yet it's impossible to tell for sure.

Will Facebook go public?
It might not IPO but it could be bought by a larger holding company that is public and by proxy become public.
