Twitter Helps Reunite Two Friends Who Met On A Cruise 12 Years Ago
On Saturday, Mississippi teen Briana Cry asked Twitter to help locate a friend she met on a Hawaiian dinner cruise with family in 2006 but never kept in touch with afterwards. The tweet soon went viral, and it only took 12 hours for users on the social media site to track down the girl, whom Daily Mail identified as a California artist named Heidi Tran.
“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 bestfriend [sic] cause I miss her and I need to see how she’s doing now. Please retweet this so we can be reunited,” Cry wrote in the initial tweet, along with a photo of her and Tran as children on the cruise.
This morning, Cry posted an update saying that the tweet had been at 9 retweets when she went to sleep. It is currently at 101,225.
