That day is coming soon and I thought a bit about the origins of this and the spread of what was an anecdote to an international event. …the day is the only holiday to come

Facebook Shares the Summer

Maybe it is the amount of friends I have on Facebook, or the increased penetration of people using smart phones, or both.

Note that in 2014, these app tabs have left the building. Facebook seems to want to frustrate the business and marketing sector every year or so.
