1m sides to every story: Share your view with @Guardian

It's perhaps quite telling that the most retweeted @Guardian tweet of all time involves a big political news story, some cracking data journalism and a dollop of wit.

The datablog piece on 22 things you could pay for with £10m (the cost of Margaret Thatcher's funeral, which No 10 have since confirmed was lower) was retweeted 1,199 times from the Guardian's main Twitter account - making it our most retweeted tweet of all time. Other top tweets shared from the @Guardian account include news headlines on the horsemeat scandal, military equipment in Bahrain, and a tweet about Olympic athletes overtaking the Kardashians as strong role models for women.

Since May 2009 @Guardian has been sending out 140 characters of news, features, reviews, live webchats and the best content from guardian.co.uk. Starting with a tweet about six people being killed in an earthquake in Honduras, the account had just 90 followers by July 2009. Four years on, @Guardian is keeping 1m followers up to date.

To celebrate the 1m milestone, we want to know more about where our followers are tweeting from – as we know there are 1 million sides to every story and 1 million faces replying, retweeting, and sharing their views in the Twitterverse.

Share your view with us by taking a picture of where you are tweeting from (maybe even a #selfie if you're that way inclined) and tweet the picture to @Guardian with the tag #1msides - make sure you have your location permission turned on for the tweet - and be sure to include a caption about yourself and where you're tweeting from. You can also share your images with us via GuardianWitness by clicking on the contribute button or downloading the app.

We'll post your #1msides tweets in this blog throughout the day and create a map of the photos. As you can see, we've taken a picture of the community team behind the @Guardian account (performing an A-level style jump) at the Guardian's offices in Kings Place to get you started.

You can also see Jon Henley talking about using Twitter for reporting the Euro Debt Tales here.

#1msides

We've started receiving views from around the world via the hashtag #1msides. Here's a rather fetching one from inside the Google offices:

Our view

Cherry blossom, no rain and oddly enough very few people - now, where's my sushi?

Here's a beautiful little clearing that I pass on my way to work in Munich. The lush grass is strewn with millions of dandelion flowers and the sky was perfect today. Congratulations to the Guardian - my vital link with the UK!

I work as a Senior advisor on the Eon campaign for Gainshare. Based in Jarrow. Quite an artistic view from my desk. Guardian Witness rules. Incentive to take photos. Thanks Guardian.

With lots of pens and note pads...

No matter where you are, these places are all the same like in Płock Poland

Just walked along from bondi to bronte
