November Highlights: #30DayMapChallenge
In November we participated in the #30DayMapChallenge on Twitter. The event was launched when Topi Tjukanov from Gispo (Finland) tweeted an idea. Little did he know that the idea would spark a wildfire in the global geography community.
After 300+ retweets, Topi put together a list of categories, one for every day of the month. The event attracted over 400 participants from more than 130 countries who posted a total of over 4000 times using the hashtag. Positium was among the 24 participants who posted a map on all 30 days and we all learned something from each of the maps one of our colleagues created (it was a team effort!).
