Our #fridaygeotrivia question this month: Name countries (and emjoi flag!) that have territory on multiple continents. A simple example is Russia 🇷🇺, which is in Europe and Asia.

big congrats to geomobster @vicchi for this fantastic project. We discussed the background a few months ago in Ep. 37 of the podcast thegeomob.com/podcast/episod… now it is live
I've been working on a little bit of #DigitalArchaeology; after a lengthy hiatus offline, almost 2 years of evening & weekend work, the old Yahoo! GeoPlanet Data, AKA WhereOnEarth, AKA WOE, is now back online at a new home. Say hello to WoePlanet ... woeplanet.org

1/ To mix things up a bit on this site, we thought we'd experiment with using Fridays to post the occasional thread about geo topics we're often asked about. Today we'll start with one everyone thinks is simple, but really isn't: reverse geocoding 🧵🗺️⬅️

Some Sunday reading - a nice interview by our sponsors @OpenCageData with all-time most-frequent #geomob speaker @vicchi about his fantastic Vaguely Rude Places Map.

It's #techtuesday and we @Getrentr are all using our new Wiki! @vicchi
Did you know Wiki is Hawaiian for “fast; quick.”
As a noun, wiki means “a website that allows anyone to add, delete or revise content by using a web browser.”

this was, by orders of magnitude, the most insane geothing I have seen in almost decade of running #geomob. He didn't just buy the cheese, he fucking built the cheeseboard. Some would argue about the position of Shetlands, but I will not hear it. The cheese was glorious. Crazy.
Yes. You read that right. #geocheese is now a thing. Thanks @kennethfield, especially for the blue cheese selection! #geomob
Gary Gale retweeted
So I just did this. An idea I had a year ago. My cheese board of the UK. 26 classic/rare geolocated cheeses with help from @1_Kidney_Col & nieces. A time limited, edible map now being eating at #geomob #ukmappingfestival #geocheese

You've seen the flight connection maps in the back of in-flight magazines. This cartographer walks us through his process of putting together a #map like this. Very visual blog post and endlessly fascinating! So many things I didn't consider!

A brilliant takedown of Jacob Rees-Mogg in this rather marvellous letter to the Guardian.
Take a bow, Iain Rowan. You’ve absolutely nailed it.
