How Flickr Became A Matchmaker?
The transformation of digital photography from film changed the way people created and shared pictures. With a Flickr account today you can share images instantly and embed the entire photo album on a website or social network. In a recent MSNBC article I read that two photographers have been courting each other through Flickr using photo manipulating software for the past 9 months. Rosie Hardy lives in England while Aaron Nance lives in North Carolina meeting for the first time on Valentine’s Day!
Questions: Do you think this was a hoax for a social media marketing ploy for an established photographer or is this another example of how digital media can continue to make an impact on how humans interact?

I think it is a little bit of a hoax and possibly some truth. As the article states, these two individuals are just too attractive and creative for me to accept this is as a true story.
Interesting tactic if this is a hoax, it shows just how creative people can be.

Rosie Hardy & Aaron Nace story is fake because they did not met through Flickr.
They knew each other before and decided to create this story that they met through the website.
Plus Rosie Hardy is a copycat and a liar
