Mashable Weekend Recap: 31 Stories You Might Have Missed

Spring is just around the corner, and this weekend at Mashable, there was another big event around the corner that proved itself to be a subtext for the entire weekend: the advent of the next edition iPad, which might be called the iPad 3, iPad HD, or something else altogether. Whatever it’s going to be called, we found stories about it, including one intriguing video purporting to show the new tablet’s screen, its thickness, and lots of other heretofore unseen details.

Beyond the anticipation of Apple’s next move, we’re still playing around with Windows 8, and presented a video of the Windows 8 Consumer Preview installed on a tablet. So it’s true: There are other companies making tablets these days, and some of those just might give the iPad a run for its money.

But all that’s just a tiny sampling, among a sea of posts about social media, tips and techniques, tantalizing Twitter pics and digital media resources galore. So we invite you to take a close look at our Weekend Recap list, where you might find something that feels like it was personally written just for you:
