WIRED reports that the increasingly popular Twitter microblogging service had its first public proposal of marriage yesterday morning.
Max Kiesler, a San Francisco-based web designer, asked his co-worker and partner of 15 years, Emily Chang, for her hand in marriage.
Given the 140 character limit, the message read: "To @emilychang - After fifteen years of blissful happiness I would like to ask for your hand in marriage?"
The reply, within a minute: "@maxkiesler - yes, i do."
Co-founder of Twitter, Biz Stone, reckons that the public proposal could be a first for the service. "It's hard to confirm for certain that it is the very first marriage proposal over Twitter," he wrote in an e-mail to Wired.com. "It may well be the first public marriage proposal over Twitter (some accounts are protected)."

Actually, the first Twitter proposal (that we know about) happened on March 2, 2008, when @garazi proposed to @stefsull.
