We at Mashable are hosting our third annual Social Media Day on June 30. It's a worldwide event that celebrates the digital revolution and not just the tools, but also the people making it possible: you.

We talked with Alex Iskold, Founder and CEO of GetGlue, about what makes social media so awesome and why it's worth celebrating on June 30. He says his favorite thing about social media is that it's "powered by people" -- and we agree.

Check out the video above to hear more about Iskold's take on social media, and its power to connect us around common interests and have our voices be heard.

We invite you to join fellow social media enthusiasts by hosting or attending a Social Media Day Meetup in your area. Already have big Social Media Day plans? Tell us more about what you'll be up to on June 30 in the comments below.

We look forward to celebrating with you!
