Love social media? Want to learn how it can enrich your personal life, build your business, advance your career, and promote your advocacy? Join the Social Media Day Davao 2015 Event hosted by the Davao Bloggers Society.

Fifteen years ago, the concept of Web 2.0 was a novel idea which was dubbed as an internet revolution of sorts where website users were no longer just consumers of content. Web 2.0 invited web users to create and contribute content. This paved the way for social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. And the rest, they say, is history.
