But yesterday, with Mark Zuckerberg on stage at F8, why did we all (including us) feel so compelled to “live blog” the event, given it was being broadcast live on video – quite publicly...

One thing that hasn't shown up in Facebook's redesign yet: New ad formats. In fact, from what we can tell, the site is now featuring fewer ads than before. Or at least, less visible ones. That's going to change soon, Mark Zuckerberg tells CNBC.

First of all, saying the event itself was sleep-inducing is just factually incorrect. Before and after the keynote they played music so loud that [...]
