Social Media Day is fast approaching! Have you heard about it? It’s an event that Mashable has been heavily promoting for the last few months—and now it’s only about a week away. Here’s how Mashable describes the event in a post on their site:

“On Saturday, June 30, digital enthusiasts will hold meetups across the globe to celebrate the one thing that unites us and keeps us in constant contact: social media.

Whether you’re an obsessed Instagram photographer, an endless Pinterest pinner or a ten-times-an-hour tweeter, Social Media Day is a time to recognize the digital revolution that has changed how we live” (Source).
