Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg told the world+dog that he would unveil something “awesome” today and at this point there is plenty of speculation to go around.

Some punters expect Facebook to introduce a new iOS app, project Spartan or something completely different. One interesting rumour is that Facebook will announce a partnership with Skype. It is said that the deal could allow Facebook to provide browser based video chat capabilities for the masses.
