Let’s make Print trend the world

On October 8, 2014, the global on-line print community shared info about print using the hashtag #IPD14: International Print Day 2014.

It was the first global on-line print and integrated marketing event delivered through social media.

Final stats:

6PM ET 10/7/14 – 8PM ET 10/8/14

• 8,683 Tweets
• delivered to 23,023,968 timelines
• with 1,271 contributors

The participants were encouraged to provide information to the global print and integrated marketing community through 24-hr open knowledge sharing and answer one question in 10 words or less: Why Print?

After looking through #IPD14 tweets I decided to make two lists of most popular and valuable tweets: my favourite ones, which I consider the most relevant, and top tweets according to topsy.com (unfortunately, the service iss no longer available). Hope you will find something useful here if you’ve missed the online event (like me). And be sure to check the hashtag yourself!
