To 1 Million Followers
If you haven’t heard, Ashton Kutcher (aplusk) is the first person to surpass 1 million followers on Twitter. He was challenging CNN to a follower-off (or whatever) and promised to both ding-dong ditch Ted Turner in Atlanta and donate $100K to Malaria No More. A worthy cause, yes?
