For all its successes Facebook has yet to conquer mobile. With that thought in mind TechCrunch is hosting our 5th annual CrunchUp today at the gorgeous Fox Theater in Redwood City, CA. Throughout the day leading developers, Facebook executives and industry experts will take the CrunchUp stage and speak on the state of Facebook’s platform, products, ads and mobile initiatives.
Our live stream is available below, thanks to our partner Ustream. You can join the conversation on Twitter using #crunchup. You can create your own sound bites to share using the SnappyTV app.
