"Facebook will release something amazing next week," says Zuckerberg

During a visit to an office of his company located in Seattle on Wednesday, the young billionaire Mark Zuckerberg told a Reuters reporter that his network should provide "something really amazing," next week.


That "something" was developed by a team of 40 people working in the city - the only development center that Facebook is far from its headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif., according to Zuckerberg himself.

As might be expected, the executive refused to give details of the "bombshell revelation" that should happen in the next few days, leaving this task to the rumors. And they point out that the site may present a sophisticated blogging tool, expected to launch its app for the iPad or show a specific application for sharing photos on the iPhone. Nothing too amazing, it's true.

The Seattle office was responsible for the unification of mobile interfaces and the site is important "fundamental" in the strategies of the company, which says its mobile users "are two times more active" than those who prefer desktop computers.
