In today's tech-savvy society, it's very easy to forget that social media hasn't been around for very long.
Platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have revolutionized the way we communicate with each another. Not only does social media have the power to keep us in touch with our friends and family, it can also connect us with the world.

Mashable is thrilled to announce that our sixth annual Social Media Day will take place on June 30, 2015. Social Media Day is an annual global celebration that highlights the contributions made by developers and social media enthusiasts alike.
Mashable first launched Social Media Day in 2010 to celebrate social media's impact on global communication.
Hundreds of Social Media Day events around the world hosted thousands of participants in 2014, including those in Egypt, Spain, Las Vegas and San Diego. Last year, Mashable asked our Twitter followers to participate in #1Connection, which encouraged people to expand their network by one meaningful connection.
We're very excited to see all the amazing activations in 2015, and you're invited to celebrate Social Media Day with us by attending or hosting a Social Media Day Meetup in your area.
