Facebook has a big presence here, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg, CTO Brett Taylor, and numerous employees and what seems like half the PR team in attendance — we’re expecting some big news on this front.
Some of what’s being shown off today will go live immediately following the event. Other stuff is more of a long-term prediction.
There’s a lot of broad talk about improving search and how things are changing. “The structure of the web is rapidly evolving giving the ability to discern and predict”. Saying Facebook is the most important, with 500 million users. “Help users make better decisions and complete tasks more efficiently — that’s the central theme of this announcement.” “We’re going to be able to create search capabilities… a classic example is name queries, which is generally not good unless you look for public figures. But with Facebook, that experience will be dramatically better.”
