Well, GeekWire readers really must have a burning desire to study cartography. Maps were the hot topic on GeekWire during the month of February, from a rendering of the streets of Seattle post Zombie apocalypse to the tech startups in Pioneer Square to what Tweets have to say about Seattle neighborhoods.
Those were three of the top posts in February on GeekWire, while stories about Microsoft’s Surface tablet push and Seattle’s new private jet club also had strong showings.
Here’s a look at the top posts of the month. Thanks to everyone for tuning in to GeekWire, and we’re looking forward to celebrating our 2nd anniversary with everyone on March 6th!!
