Mayor Dewey Bartlett signed a proclamation that placed Tulsa among the 17 cities to proclaim June 30, 2012 as Social Media Day.
Social Media Day is a global celebration of the technological advancements that enable everyone to connect with real-time information, communicate, and have their voices heard. Mashable, a leading source for news, information and resources about new websites and social media, launched the event in 2010 as a way to recognize the digital revolution.
The mayor’s proclamation is a testament to the growing importance of social media in city government, businesses, and non-profit organizations and helps place Tulsa among the most active Social Media cities in America,
More than 30 of Tulsa’s social media enthusiasts joined together to celebrate Social Media Day at Andolini’s Pizzeria in Tulsa.
Mike Bausch, co-owner of Andolini’s Pizzeria talked to the group about motivation, setting goals, and doing what you love. Social Media Tulsa denizen, Mandy Vavrinak, President of Crossroads Communications, LLC spoke on how social media has spurred Andolini’s growth. Verizon Wireless representatives were on hand to showcase some of the hottest 4G LTE devices and their role in assisting people in both business and life.
