Launched in 2010, Mashable's Social Media Day was a way to recognize the digital revolution happening right before our eyes. Whether its reporting about new online networks on Mashable or listening to inspiring stories from our readers, we’ve seen how this increasingly connected world is quickly changing lives across the globe — and our community agrees.

 In 2010, there were more than 600 Meetups in 90 countries. That more than doubled in 2011 when there were more than 1,400 Meetups with thousands of attendees worldwide. Nine cities and one U.S. state have declared Social Media Day an official holiday.

Last year I attended Detroit's Social Media Day and did a live broadcast on social media with Girly Nerdy Goodness. This year Joe and I plan on going all out for an awesome live broadcast of Social Media Meltdown!

Detroit has yet to announce their official event plans so ours are still up in the air. Stay tuned for more details.
