You no longer have to rely on a service like Lojack – or its cell phone equivalent – to find a lost cell phone it seems.
Wired carries the story of UC Berkeley Student Scot Hacker who lost his cell phone on campus only to have a tech-savvy individual find the phone and send an SMS message to the most recent SMS recipient.. Twitter.
The mystery tweet read simply:
Hi.i found this phone.could you tell me how to find the owner..
After being reconnected with his phone, Hacker posted this tweet:
Whoa – Twitter found my phone! What an amazing network

Yeah, it was a pretty groovy experience – everything just clicked like magic in the middle of a bad day.
n.b.: I’m a staffer, not a student.
