The Million Follower Man: Kutcher Celebrates Twitter Victory For World To See
“It’s the Web vs. the world, people!”
At 2:13amET today, Ashton Kutcher (@APlusK) successfully defeated CNN (@CNNBrk) in his quest to be the first Twitter member to reach 1 million followers (the contest was for charity).
After a late push by CNN to take the lead — an on-air promo for the Twitter feed — Kutcher took to his version of “on-air”: Ustream.tv. For nearly two hours, Kutcher live-streamed from his house, featuring special guest appearances from his wife, Demi Moore (@MrsKutcher), Soleil Moon Frye (@MoonFrye) and a phone call from Diddy (@IAmDiddy).
“Today we have done something extraordinarily special…You guys are all of it, because I can’t follow me,” he said after the victory.
