June 30: Africa Celebrates Social Media Day

June 30 is, annually, commemorated as the World Social Media Day. This day brings to the fore the realities of a growing global community of diverse individuals who are wirelessly wired.

The Social Media Day was launched by an organisation called Mashable, a digital technology company, in 2010 to recognise and celebrate social media’s impact on global communication. While every day is essentially a social media day, today marks the sixth celebration.
