It is remarkable to see the growth of the social media in the past few years and now people are celebrating it by making it an official day for remembrance. Few states in United States approved as such and even few nations have done so as well. Social media has changed various aspect of life for all of us and it is has earned its right to be on the calendar. It will be interesting to see how far the medium would have impact to us.

If Facebook's 1.28 billion users inhabited a country, it would be the second-largest in the world, behind only China's 1.36 billion.
And Twitter would rank No. 4, just ahead of Indonesia's 247 million residents — and that's counting only Twitter's 255 million active users.
Today, Des Moines joins a worldwide celebration of tweeting, Facebooking and Instagramming with its first Social Media Day.
"Whether you like it or not, social media affects everybody," said Katie Stocking, owner of the social media and Web design agency Happy Medium. She organized today's event. "For me, I have built a business around social media both by using it and by helping others use it."
