Here’s a nice light-hearted story that could inspire us all and reminds us that there are still a few remaining good samaritans out there. What makes this story more interesting is that the individuals involved are actually techie’s like us.

Scott Hacker lost his phone and realized it was lost only after receiving the following note on his Twitter account:

Hi. i found this phone. could you tell me how to find the owner…

After a few messages from his Twitter friends who also read Twitter message, Hacker met the good samaritan, Silje Rygland who found Hacker’s phone lying on the lawn of UC Berkeley. To make a long good story short, Scott Hacker got his phone back and wrote about the experience in his, yes you guess it right, blog. Incidentally aside from running his personal tech blog, Hacker is also the founder and administrator of ”The Archives of Misheard Lyrics”, a popular site that maintains a database of misheard lyrics to pop songs.

Lesson of the story? If you’re not in Twitter yet, better sign up now, for who knows you might lose your phone too and Twitter might help you find it.
