This Facebook-Twitter Marriage Proposal Shows Social Media Might Not Be Killing Romance After All

twitbook proposalThere's this video making the San Francisco and tech industry rounds this weekend, of Facebook staffer Jon Park proposing to his longtime girlfriend, Twitter employee Genevieve Wong. It's called the "Twitbook Proposal," since Park incorporated the products built at both his and Wong's day jobs into the whole thing. The result is pretty amazing. We all know that social media can sometimes ironically be more alienating than anything, but this is really an example of Twitter and Facebook at their best, bringing people together and helping them chronicle the special moments in their lives. If anything, it shows that social media might not be killing love after all. Park has proved that it's possible to use Twitter and Facebook in ways that are actually relevant and romantic when it comes to relationships.
