Happy Social Media Day!

That's right, June 30th has now been dubbed Social Media Day! The day isn't formally celebrated here in MN, but our Axiom team is still excited! Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia were two of the first cities to recognize the new holiday, while San Carlos, CA and the entire state of Arizona also led the way. Recent additions include Las Vegas, San Jose, CA, and Dublin, Ireland.

Today is a chance to recognize all that social media does for us. Just imagine life now without it! Online news sources are the only news media that have seen increases in audience numbers throughout the past years; print, TV, and radio have had declining audience numbers. Then there are outlets like Twitter, Facebook, and the many blog sites.

All of these media channels help make our busy lives a little easier. Thanks to social media it is easy to keep in touch with people who are far away.
