We kicked in at 4 pm on June 30th, so you know the people in these pics are serious social media geeks. Thanks to Julie Sturek for the awesome photography. (You made us all look really smart, social and very sophisticated!) And of course, mere hours ticked off before someone said, "Hell, Social Media Day was amazing – let's party again soon!"

Thanks to Dan and Ed at Star Collaborative for being such cool party partners. Thank you to Kelley at frank for orchestrating the entire event so elegantly. Thanks to all who joined and amped the "social" in Mashable's first-ever, 2010 International Social Media Day!
