Social media surprises

Hi everyone,the other day I read an amazing story about Matt Stopera who had his iPhone stolen in 2014. The phone was never wiped and photos of a man kept appearing on his phone. He decided to post on Buzzfeed about these photo's appearing on his iPhone and came to the conclusion this man in the photo's was still logged into his icloud. The post gained major momentum trying to find out who the mystery man "Brother Orange" was, through Weibo (a Chinese version of twitter) he was found and then the story took a major turn. The two men started talking to each other and decided to meet up and it created an interesting "bromance". It is a truly heart warming story about two men who can barely speak to each other but still manage to become the best of friends. This  has shown that sometimes social media can come up with a surprising result and that you never know how far your reach is.
I highly recommend the article below if you have spare time in your day.

Yours truly,
Luke Henderson
