Mashable Weekend Recap: 47 Stories You Might Have Missed

We had a double-barreled weekend full of excitement at Mashable, with some of our lucky adventurers heading out to Barcelona for the Mobile World Conference, while the rest us picked which actors and films we thought would win big for our Oscars office pool.

We wanted reliable predictions, so we got Twitter to figure out for us who would take home the hardware at the Academy Awards. At the same time, we found an army of researchers who were able to determine how many people planned to buy an iPad 3 soon after it’s introduced on March 7.

And that only scratches the surface, dear readers. Dive into our handy Weekend Recap list below, and see what else is in store, all gleefully compiled over the weekend, just for you:
