I Can't Believe I Am Now Following Ashton Kutcher on Twitter (Though His Smackdown of CNN Was Sweet)

in News on April 16, 2009 at 10:36 pm PT

Actor Ashton Kutcher crossed the million-follower-on-Twitter line at 11:12 p.m. PDT, beating CNN. Kutcher simply tweeted: “Victory is ours!!!!!!!! The CNN cable news channel passed the million mark soon after, but was still second. The race was getting close as midnight neared on the West Coast. Not a real race, but a race of the Twits. Kutcher vs. CNN was a race to get one million “followers,” those who sign up to receive a person’s or organization’s tweets on the hot microblogging service. Now, I am worried about what Kutcher–whose Twitter handle is aplusk–will do with his one million minions. Order us all to play idiotic practical jokes on people? Rent Demi Moore movies, even the unwatchable ones (“G.I. Jane” anyone?), over and over? Get 1970s mullets?
