8-K are kind of an SEC thing....LOL. Social media does not meet SEC requirements or replace an 8-K. In addition to one, fine, but not in place of one.

Form 8-K is the “current report” companies must file with the SEC to announce major events that shareholders should know about.

The instructions for Form 8-K describe the types of events that trigger a public company's obligation to file a current report, including any of the following :

Section 1 Registrant's Business and Operations
