Facebook to Hold Press Event Jan. 15

Facebook sent out invites to a press event to be held at its Menlo Park, Calif., headquarters on Jan. 15.

The event starts at 10 a.m. PST and should last some hours -- in the invite e-mail, Facebook noted that lunch would be served.

Facebook gave no clues as to what it plans to announce; the invite only read, "Come and see what we're building." This is the first media gathering the company has hosted since it announced a slew of new retail partners for its Gifts app at FAO Schwartz in New York City in November.
