Carlos Zetina, intent on finding the woman he met the night before, wrote email to 246 students with similar names (Nicole) at the University of Calgary late last week in hope of finding her. A Canadian Press story Sunday says that the barrage of mail caused many of the recipients to begin meeting on a Facebook page started just for that purpose. It also says that the Nicole in question, who did not get an email, learned of the man’s hunt from chatter on social media. She has now texted Carlos and agreed to meet soon. “We’re planning to hang out maybe next week,” said Carlos. “I really didn’t expect this to become a big thing.” One reason it’s big is the Facebook account started by one of the recipients, Nicole DuGraye. She says she decided to do that so the women could get together and make friends, perhaps even find the woman Carlos was looking for. Sure enough, a post in the group from the email’s intended target says she didn’t receive the message, but learned about Carlos’ hunt because the online chatter. The post says she meant to give Carlos her number, but he might have gotten a digit wrong when he wrote it down.
