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.

Today, one cannot imagine life without access to social media. In 2010, Mashable, one of the leading digital news, information, and entertainment source, launched Social Media Day to celebrate social media’s role in our lives. This is traditionally celebrated every June 30th.
