Some Damn Mom Finds Her Long Lost Son Using FaceBook - I Swear I Didn’t Cry.
Tough guy SEOs aren’t supposed to get near teary-eyed while reading a random Social Networking article on CNN.
While reading this damn article about a Mom finding the son she gave up for adoption 20 years ago on FaceBook, emotions began to change from “wow, this is a pretty good story about the power of Social Networking sites” to “God, I need to call Mom right now.”
Nice to hear about successful things coming out of Social Networking rather than the usual idiotic beauty pageant contestant or future politician (same thing right?) who post pictures of themselves doing insane things for my enjoyment? Priceless.
It’s good that you are opening up like this - it helps in the healing process
