(I love a great "feel-good" story. This one is especially meaningful because it demonstrates the POWER OF LOVE!
There are those who use the internet to "Like" cute pictures of babies sitting on dogs; there are others who use the internet to re-connect with long lost family members, and to reconnect with the world.

A few folks in New York City wondered what it's like to be homeless. So they gave four men cell phones and Twitter accounts to help them share their stories with the world.
For Daniel Morales, these gifts would change his life. Three weeks into the project, Morales used the social neworking tool to find his 27-year-old daughter, whom he hadn't seen in over a decade.
After posting his cell phone number and a photo of her when she was 16, a stranger saw the message and the next day, Morales got the call he'd been waiting for.
"Just to find my dad after 11 years...I don't even know how to feel right now, I'm just very, very happy."

Everything changed after Morales received a prepaid cell phone and a Twitter account courtesy of the project Underheard in New York.
Dad and daughter now say both of their lives are forever changed.”I’m gonna have them in my life,” Morales said. “I’m gonna do whatever it takes to keep them near me.”
Morales, who now has over 3,000 followers on Twitter, said he never knew the Internet could be so great. One person even expressed interest in helping Morales write his book.
