Twitter helps homeless man reunite with daughter

Daniel Morales, a homeless man in New York reunites with his daughter after 11 years through twitter. He had been given a phone three weeks ago through a project called "Underheard in New York," which aims to give homeless people a voice. His only instructions to use the prepaid phone was to give his followers 140 letter updates about his life.

One such tweet -- a photo of his daughter taken in Puerto Rico in 2000 -- led one of his Twitter followers to contact Rivera on Facebook, she said. Although skeptical at first, Rivera knew it was her father after seeing his photo online.

Its miraculous to hear of such a story and the fact that it was an online social site that gave Morales the opportunity to reunite with his daughter. Such sites are giving thousands to reach out and tell their stories.
