Extra Crunch offers<\/span> members the opportunity to tune into conference calls led and moderated by the TechCrunch writers you read every day. This week, TechCrunch\u2019s Josh Constine and Frederic Lardinois discuss major announcements that came out of Facebook\u2019s F8 conference and dig into how Facebook <\/a> is trying to redefine itself for the future.<\/p>\n

Though touted as a developer-focused conference, Facebook spent much of F8 discussing privacy upgrades, how the company is improving its social impact, and a series of new initiatives on the consumer and enterprise side. Josh and Frederic discuss which announcements seem to make the most strategic sense, and which may create attractive (or unattractive) opportunities for new startups and investment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis F8 was aspirational for Facebook. Instead of being about what Facebook is, and accelerating the growth of it, this F8 was about Facebook, and what Facebook wants to be in the future.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not the newsfeed, that\u2019s not pages, that\u2019s not profiles. That\u2019s marketplace, that\u2019s Watch, that\u2019s Groups. With that change, Facebook is finally going to start to decouple itself from the products that have dragged down its brand over the last few years through a series of nonstop scandals.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
