India’s police forces are discovering the power of social media. On Sunday, Delhi Police organised a unique rescue when they were able to reunite a lost Alzheimer patient with her family in just a few hours, with the help of Twitter.

After a police van found 80-year-old Kamla Gupta in north Delhi, the city’s Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) Madhur Verma tweeted her details.

Less than a year ago, we launched #MashPics as a way of curating the best images from our talented Instagram community. Today, that hashtag has seen more than 100,000 beautiful photos.

100,000! That’s a whole lot.

We’re so proud to have facilitated the growth of this dedicated group of photographers. Their creative work makes it easy to get lost in an endless scroll of spiral staircases, silly animals, stunning aerial shots, sun-kissed portraits and more

It’s also truly amazing to realize the global reach of our hashtag. We’ve seen photos from not only the 50 states, but from countless countries in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and South America. #MashPics has become a pseudo travel guidebook in itself. Read more…

Some men simply do not know how to try and attract women. One model wants to help them learn

While many women ignore unsolicited dick pics, model Emily Sears and her BFF Laura have found a much more productive way to deal with them.

Facebook will be banning sales of guns on both its flagship service and on company-owned Instagram, site officials announced Friday

The updated policy will align more closely with the company’s current regulations on advertisements and sales of regulated goods, a Facebook spokesperson told Mashable

The move — which some have interpreted as Facebook taking a stance in favor of gun control — comes after President Obama and other gun safety advocates put pressure to halt illegal sales and trades on the site, the New York Times reported

The ban specifically applies to person-to-person firearm sales, while licensed gun dealers will remain exempt under the new guidelines. The goal, it appears, is to curb sales that are conducted without background checks and public safety precautions Read more…
