In the days leading up to the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the United States on Sept. 11, 2001, the media and tech worlds have been inundated with tributes to those who lost their lives that tragic day. As it did 10 years ago, the global community is once again banding together to reflect and remember. Ten years ago, neither Mashable nor the social space as we know it existed. For many, clogged phone lines brought communication with those who were not with you in person to a screeching halt. And so, people connected with whomever was around them, whether it was for something as mundane as needing a hand to hold or as vital as helping to save a life.

How do you remember?
This weekend, we here at Mashable want to give our community a space to remember, discuss and reach out to someone who may be a stranger but who will understand nonetheless.
- Where were you when you found out?
- Considering our changed media landscape, how did you find out about the tragedy and follow the story?
- How do you think the day would have unfolded if we did have the social media we do today?
- How are you using the Internet and social space today to discuss and remember?
