Mashable! - Facebook Announces Its Big Move [LIVE]

Facebook is leaving Palo Alto, its home for the last six years, and moving to Menlo Park. The social network is about to announce its plan to make it happen.

We’re here live at the Menlo Park City Hall’s Council Chamber, where Facebook and the City of Menlo Park are about to hold a joint press conference to announce the company’s big move.

Our sources have told us that Facebook is indeed taking over the old Sun Microsystems campus north of Highway 101 in Menlo Park (we have pictures of Facebook’s new offices), and an aerial view of the campus being displayed at this press conference confirms it.

We still don’t know some of the key details, though. When will Facebook move? What other buildings has it acquired? Is Facebook getting a specual deal? How many people does Facebook intend to support with the new 11-building complex?

Here are my live notes:
