Ashton Beats CNN to 1 Million Twitter Followers
Posted on Fri Apr 17, 2009 08:55 AM PDT
Ashton Kutcher edged out CNN in the race to be the first to line up one million followers on their Twitter accounts.
In a friendly wager, Ashton promised to donate 10,000 mosquito bed nets for World Malaria day if he won.
Ashton streamed live from a webcam as he counted down the members nearing the million mark. At the same time on CNN, Anderson Cooper was urging people to join CNN's Twitter page.
But sometime late on Thursday night, Ashton tweeted "Victory is Ours!!!!" after surpassing the million follower mark.
"I just found it astonishing that one person can actually have as big a voice online as what an entire media company can," Kutcher said.
You can watch how it all played out live, including the moment Ashton and Demi declare victory with the popping of Champagne in the video below.
