Online Dating 2.0: Couple meets on Twitter
There’s not a day when Chris Wardzala doesn’t think about how he unexpectedly met his fiance. It wasn’t in a bar, at the office or through friends.
Instead, it was the Twitterverse that brought them together.
“It was so random and just so weird. I think about how crazy it’s been that we met online in a place where we’re so restricted in what we can say,” said Wardzala, who teaches classes and workshops at the Apple store on Michigan Avenue.
Both new to the microblogging service in 2007, Wardzala and Magdelyn Skacan ended up following each other, at first sharing 140-character tweets about computer problems and sci-fi movies. It wasn’t long before they were on their way to tweet love.
They exchanged e-mails, talked on the phone and hopped on planes to visit each other. And in May 2008, Skacan moved to the Windy City.
