Monkeys On the Loose in MapHook

DULLES, Va.–MapHook, the location-based journal app, has joined forces with ThinkGeek to unveil the “Timmy the Monkey Sticker Map Project.” Orders placed on ThinkGeek.com will include a Timmy the Monkey sticker. Using the custom “Timmy Stickers” category within the MapHook app, users can post a “hook” on www.thinkgeek.com/stickermap, a global map documenting his travels.

“We’re excited to be a part of this promotion with ThinkGeek”
