Today (And Every Day?) is Social Media Day
Today is Social Media Day, at least according to Mashable, the leading social media blog. For those of us active in the space, whether it be professionally or on a personal level, social media doesn't need a day of its own--as we're fortunate enough to be involved in this new medium everyday.
However, I do love how Mashable has framed up their celebration, describing Social Media Day as "a day to celebrate the revolution of media becoming social."
And that's really what it is: a revolution. Never before has word traveled so fast or so far. Never before has a single person been empowered to take on a host of giants. Never before have the masses been able to take the reigns of brands and businesses. Social media has changed all of that.
If you're calendar isn't full (and if it is, make some room), take some time to celebrate the fact that we live and work in a world that has been changed for the better through social discourse and hyper-connectivity. Attend a local meetup, leave a comment on someone's blog, or find another way to get in touch with your online community, because without the social web a lot of things would be different.
Happy Social Media Day!
P.S. If you live in Des Moines, you can come out for the #dmtweetup tonight at All Play.
