Facebook today released a page of its own that it named FBTechwire. The page will feature technology news, discussions and other real-time events for social network users.
In a publication, the company said the Techwire page is powered by Storyful and will include content that can be incorporated into news by journalists. The content will also be distributed to Twitter via a special account.

FB Techwire's release follows the introduction of FB Newswire in April of this year.
