Social media networking giant, Facebook has launched its own page, called FB Techwire, that will surface breaking tech news, debates and other events to users in real-time.
In a post, the company revealed that Techwire is being powered by Storyful. This will allow journalists to embed feature content into news stories. Techwire will use a dedicated Twitter account to distribute content.
With Twitter dominating the market as a breaking news source, this move by Facebook is seen by industry analysts as a strategy to attract journalists and realtime content enthusiasts.
In April this year, FB Newswire was launched as well.
