Woman who launched campaign to find 'best friend' she met on cruise over 12 years ago is reunited with her within hours
Social media certainly isn't all it's made out to be, but there is the odd occasion where it serves its true purpose: bringing people together. One Twitter user would be the beneficiary of the internet's magic and ability to get posts viral in a matter of hours as she successfully tracked down a long lost childhood friend.
Twitter user @brianncry, from Mississippi, called for help from users of the platform in finding a friend she had met on a cruise. She uploaded an old snap where she's seen smiling and wearing a lei garland alongside another girl in a blue floral address with the caption, "Hey Twitter, I met this girl on a dinner cruise in Hawaii in 2006. We were basically best friends for that night so I need y’all to help me find my best friend cause I miss her and I need to see how she’s doing now. Please retweet this so we can be reunited. [sic]"
