A Facebook f8 preview video

Facebook’s f8 conference is coming up a week from tomorrow in San Francisco, Calif. It’s the event where the company last year launched its platform, which has since turned the social networking industry on its head.

So what should we expect this year? According to the video just posted by Facebook senior platform manager Dave Morin, there will be a lot of talk of the new profile designs, mobile advances and Facebook Connect.

Facebook Connect is the service that basically gives you access to information from your Facebook account while on other sites.

We’ve previously previewed the upcoming profile design changes, and you can now see them for yourself. Facebook is in the process of rolling the update out to users.

For more details on the conference, watch the video below.
