Get your thumbs ready—Social Media Day is celebrated on June 30, and it’s all about the apps, posts, memes, and moments that keep us connected every single day.
It was created by Mashable in 2010 to recognize the massive impact social platforms have on how we communicate, share experiences, discover trends, stay connected across the world. From viral dances to breaking news, social media is basically the world’s biggest digital hangout.
