And then there's the art you shared with us.
Through each of Mashable's 38 photo challenges, 28 Vine challenges and two #MashMeets, we witnessed the immense artistic talent in our community. The responses we received for each challenge -- from wilderness photography and faceless portraits to claymation and mini-movie remakes --were truly inspiring.
