Power of the Internet

I had to re-post on my blog because this is such a cool story:

The power of the internet

basinfoundcamera.blogspot.com
While hiking in New Hampshire this summer, I found a digital camera at the bottom of a river. Although the camera was completely destroyed, I was able to carefully take it apart and safely recover the photos from its memory chip.


Well it turns out that after only 8 days the guy who put together the blog was contacted by the camera's owner:

This evening, a mere eight days after setting up this blog, I received the email that I--and lots of other folks here--was hoping for! I will be sending the family's photos and movie clips back to them this week. I will leave this blog site up until the end of February, just for folks that might be checking back in to see the great news!

Pretty amazing stuff! Through twitter, blogs, digg, etc. the owner was finally reunited with their lost camera and more importantly the images and videos it held.

hooray for the internet!
