Geothreading - our weekly Twitter threads
22 Mar 2021
Hi everyone,
we’ve been active on Twitter for many years (you can find us as @OpenCage), and over the last year or so we’ve been doing educational “threads” about our service, common geo support questions we get, or #geeoweirdness, where we look at strange geofacts about different countries or regions.
It’s been fun, and these threads have resonated with some people, getting liked and retweeted, but the great weakness of the medium is how short-lived it is. Content comes and goes in an endless stream.
So we thought we’d use this post to keep a running list of the various threads. We’ll update the list each time we post a new thread.
But of course threads aren’t the only fun we have on twitter. The final Friday of each month we do a twitter geo trivia contest (search for #fridaygeotrivia on Twitter). We hope to see you there.
