Join CNET for live
coverage of the keynote at Facebook's developer event at 10 a.m. PT.
Our live blog will bring you news, updates, photos, and running
commentary.
Facebook, On
Wednesday, for the first time since 2011, Facebook will hold its F8
developer conference. CNET will be at the San Francisco venue to live
blog the keynote presentation by CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other leaders
at Facebook.
The social network was a very different company the
last time it held the conference. The company had yet to go public, and
much of the company's offerings were centered around its desktop
website. The biggest announcement to come out of the last F8 was the
introduction "timeline" -- the most major overhaul of Facebook's member
profile for users.
But
now Facebook is undoubtably a mobile company. In its first-quarter
earnings report last week, Facebook announced that it has over a billion
mobile users, and that it made 59 percent of its advertising revenue on
mobile.
This year's conference will focus heavily on developers
who build and run Web services -- especially as the company continues to
build itself in the mobile realm.
CNET senior editor Jessica
Dolcourt, photographer James Martin, and I will be bringing you details,
photos, and commentary from the event. It kicks off at 10 a.m. PT/1
p.m. ET.
As usual, we'll use ScribbleLive to bring you the play by
play. We'll start the live blog about 15 minutes before Facebook
officially kicks off its event.
