    Many of the people I follow participate in this (Bear) Blog Challenge where bloggers answer questions and tag others. A couple of clicks later, my mind goes: I could plot this.

    I made the mistake to commit to the impulse and invest way too much time in this. I’ve opened 161 posts on blogs in every shape and size and managed to graph 130. Professional, daft, minimalist, explosive, nostalgic, personal, niche, there are so many awesome blogs out there. I love this trend.

    I'm still adding more blogs 😵‍💫 I try my best adding them all, but I keep getting sidetracked by amazing blog posts.

    I did it, everyone. I’ve mapped out the entire Bear blog challenge chain, starting at my friend @hdv’s entry. In the process, I did find a bunch of posts by bloggers that neither got tagged nor tagged anyone else, so these aren’t shown in this graph.

    In total, I found 248 posts, of which 216 are linked to others.

    With that out of the way, it’s time to start working on some drafts to share the process, visualisation challenges, and most importantly: these awesome blogs.

    @timsev I’m in the “wasn’t challenged / didn’t challenge” category!

    The chain letter part of these things makes me a little itchy TBH 🤷

    @tylersticka A lot of people seem to feel that way, not wanting to peer-pressure others into writing these. I've also seen a post or two where the wording of the authors suggests they asked in private before publishing and tagging. It's all good!
