Other men have leveraged social media or digital tools to ask for their significant others' hand in marriage (see galleries below). For example, one New York City woman used a Nexus One and the Google Maps mobile app to complete a scavenger hunt that ended with a marriage proposal, and a Cincinnati man used Groupon to get engaged. In San Francisco, a man leveraged Twitter, Foursquare and live streaming mobile service Qik to propose. Other people also have used, memes, a check-in on Foursquare and Google's Street View to propose.
Would a Twitter marriage proposal be romantic enough for your taste? Let us know.
