The "Twitbook" Proposal

This article makes the argument that social media can still facilitate romance. The video shows the proposal of Facebook staffer, Jon Park, and Twitter employee, Genevieve Wong. Jon manages to incorporate both members careers into his proposal to Genevieve in a local park. Do you think social media is capable of adding romance to a relationship?

  1. It has the potential to help romance along I think. In this video it obviously worked to his advantage! But social media can never be a substitute for it, and I think some people believe it to be sufficient enough for a romantic relationship, or confuse it for such. Like those basement nerds that Professor Underwood pointed out through Brad Paisley's song. ;)
