Australia's foreign minister is looking for her earring on Twitter

Australia's foreign minister has tweeted an unusual request to the people of Australia.
Julie Bishop lost her pearl earring in between television interviews Monday morning in Sydney's Martin Place and used the social network to try and find the missing jewel.

With a tweet showing a photo of her Sky News interview this morning, sans earring, Bishop requested Australians call her office if they have spotted it.
The foreign minister is getting used to her new-found medium of Twitter. Recently, she discovered emojis and had a grand old time tweeting out emoji stories to anyone who would listen.
Now it seems she has discovered Twitter can be an awesome crowd-sourcing platform. Bishop is yet to be reunited with her pearl, but many followers are attempting to help in the search.
