If there is any doubt remaining about the pervasive power of social media just ask Mark Ruffalo, who regained his lost wallet and cell phone thanks to Twitter.
The Spotlight star apparently lost his wallet and phone in New York City in the midst of this weekend’s massive blizzard, and sent out an “APB”; on Twitter to let his 2.14 million followers know about it, promising a “reward and a signed pic”; for information leading to their safe return.

“That was freaking fast,”; he marvelled in a tweet. “Thanks for helping me find it!!”;
