Use Twitter for Good at #SXSW – Here’s how
So I was walking out of the airport to my cab, and as I was putting my bag in the trunk, I looked down and found this 30 gig iPod lying on the ground.
There are enough Geek podcasts on it to guarantee that the person who lost it is a South by Southwest attendee.
So help me find him or her. Tweet this post, tag it with SXSW, and let the person find me. I’ll meet up with them before I leave SXSW (leaving Tuesday) and return their iPod. They just have to tell me the name of the iPod’s drive. (They named it something special.)
Whatcha think? I bet this can happen.

The way you wrote that (they named it something special) sounds like they named it something 3x rated
I am retweeting your request now. I’m sure they’ll find you tomorrow. And very clever idea, Peter.
Looking forward to your Monday morning queries…after your adventurous weekend!

If the person has registered the iPod, Apple will contact the owner for you. Call 1-800-MY-APPLE.
And thank you for making this effort to find the owner!! It’s nice to know there are some nice people like you out there!!

Twitter Lost and Found. Sounds like a great idea to me.

I’ll definitely re-tweet — I’m looking forward to hearing how this turns out! Thanks for inspiring others to be thoughtful and take the time to be responsible.

Did you end up finding the owner? Just curious.

Cool! Did it. Can’t wait to here what happens.

So you ever found the owner?

Had to laugh about this one… all I can imagine is how I would feel if I lost my iPhone… like i’d lost a limb?! Losing my iPod I would probably see as a sign it was time to buy the latest, greatest version…
You rock Peter, awesome use of social networking for the greater good! Did anyone claim it yet?
