Want to be a part of the global celebration of Social Media? Well now you can.

Mashable, the world’s largest blog focused exclusively on Web 2.0 and Social Media news, is hosting first ever Social Media Day celebration on June 30, and YOU’re invited. Some 340 meetups in 74 countries, have been organized by people just like you.

If you live in New York City, San Francisco, Atlanta or Austin, then you’re doubly lucky because Mashable’s staff will be attending those meetups, so you can actually stop by and shake hands with some of the coolest people in industry.

Some meetups have gone as far as adding a benefit event to its agenda so that the proceeds collected can go to a good cause.

So how do you participate?

Here’s what Mashable is offering:

§                     Meetup Everywhere Mashable:Sign up to attend or organize your own event on the Meetup Everywhere Mashable.

§                     Use our Logo: If you’re planning a meetup, use our Social Media Day logo for the event. Why the alpaca for the mascot you might ask? It’s among the most social farm animals.

§                     Comment via Facebook: Go to Smday.com and leave a comment either promoting your meetup or tell us what you’re doing for your event.

§                     RSVP to the Facebook Event: RSVP and upload photos from your meetup to our Facebook event page.

§                     Upload to Flickr: Upload photos to Flickr and tag them with #smday.

§                     Follow @mashSMday: Follow @mashSMday on Twitter for updates and developments on the celebration.

§                     Tweet: Use the #smday hashtag on Twitter. With so many participating, we should be a trending topic on Twitter on June 30. Also, we’ll soon be announcing a prize for those that tweet or post FB.

Another cool idea? If you don’t see your city on the map, why not organize your own Social Media meetup in your city? Yes, they actually want you do that that, so why not go for it? Use the social media sources listed above to spread the word and make sure you include the #smday hashtag wherever you can.

As far as my Houston readers, you’re in luck as well! There is already meet up being organized by The Houston committee of Extra Life. If you’re into old-school kickball, then you’re really in for a treat.

Don’t miss this great summer event at Little Big’s Zoo Cir Dr.


See you there.
