We've directed you to the Social Media section of Mashable, because we often find lots of snippets of info about upcoming and in-action developments on Twitter, Facebook and other platforms. There are also lots of social media-related news stories or stories that you can share on social media yourself, i.e. 17 Vintage Photos That Will Take You Back to the Good Old Days.
