There it is: just east of YouTube island, south west of MMO isle, hovering inconspicuously over Geotagged bay, almost engulfed by the continent of Twitter. Geocaching.
But something is missing.
Over 3500 600 registered users, 70000 54,000 content pages, 2.75 million edits, 45 million views, and more than 3000 locations reached!
But not even a single speck of ink on a map created by its own founder.
Onward we hash. Unrecognized. Ignored. Betrayed. Abandoned. Unimportant.
