Wikimedia is a global movement whose mission is to bring free educational content to the world. The idea is to bring free educational content to the world! I had been aware of Wikipedia but didn't really know about Wikibooks, Wikishource, Wikinews, Media Wiki, Wikimedia Commons, or the handful of other platforms that strive to bring a world in which people can freely share in knowledge. The Wictionary is quite impressive with 6,679,323 entries with English definitions from 4,200 languages. It seems like there is a lot more behind all of the wiki sources and I especially liked exploring the Wikimedia Commons.
The media of the day was a Arhopala Bazalus butterfly in Japan which can be seen here:

How amazing! Social media also makes it quite easy to share this video.
Just added this to my Web 2.0 Pinterest curation page with an annotation!
