Facebook "Secret" to be Revealed this Morning

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Whatever Facebook's big secret is, it'll be revealed today at a "press event."

Some speculation centers on a more robust search feature that would intensify the competition between the social networking giant and its rival Google Inc.

The company has not said what it plans to announce. Last week, it invited bloggers and journalists to "come see what we're building."

The company probably won't be showing off a new office building -unless it decided to make its invitation very literal.

It's also unlikely to be unveiling a much-rumored "Facebook phone" -unless CEO Mark Zuckerberg has changed his mind recently. Last fall, as he'd done on numerous occasions, he publicly shot down speculation that Facebook was building its own smartphone.
