Popular social media blog Mashable has declared June 30 as ‘Social Media Day’, a day to “celebrate the revolution of media becoming social”, Mashable said.
Mashable encourages those who use social media to organise real-life meetups and events in their areas, “connecting with other enthusiasts”.
At the time of this report, there are 576 meetups organised worldwide with a total of 8,783 people attending.
Mashable have, unsurprisingly, set up Facebook pages, Twitter feeds and Flickr albums devoted to Social Media Day. The blog will be announcing a prize for those that tweet or post to Facebook about the celebration.
Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia, is the first city to officially proclaim 30 June as Social Media Day.

Thanks for providing all the official links Tamara! I saw something about this and was wondering what all the hype was about. Speaking of hype, I think that's all it is!
It's nice to organize a lot of cool social media events but other than that it just feels like a President's Day sale. No one really knows what it's all about but we like the fringe benefits! :)
I agree with Cassandra - not a lot of substance behind this and that's ironic considering how much we have already read about how social media needs to based on something. Alas, at least we will be celebrating together!
