If you haven’t joined Twitter yet, now is a good time to do so. Not only is there drama, tweets galore and good conversation, there IS a competition worth watching.
Punk’d producer Ashton Kutcher has officially challenged CNN and founder Ted Turner to a race to one million “followers”. While both Twits have over 900,000 “followers”, the race is getting tense and twit-tastic. Go Ashton!
So, here’s the lowdown:
IF Ashton beats Ted Turner and company to the one million, he has promised to not only “ding-dong-ditch” (ring doorbell, run away) Ted’s mansion, but he has also offered to give his millionth follower a copy of ‘Guitar Hero,’ and more importantly, says he’ll donate 10,000 mosquito bed nets to charity for World Malaria Day.
IF CNN beats Ashton, the media company says they will…um…I don’t think they offered anything yet. Hmph.
Ashton says about the race, “I find it astonishing that one person can actually have as big of a voice online as what an entire media company can on Twitter. I just thought that was kind of an amazing comment on the state of our media.”
There has been plenty of recruiting and campaigning, however, there also has been plenty of trash talking. Even saggy-balled Larry King has been stirring the pot.
“Are you kidding? Do you think you can take on an entire network? Do you know how big we are? Do you know what CNN is? Kutcher, you’re playing out of your field. You’re in another time zone. This ain’t gonna work. CNN will bury you!”
Oh Larry King is one fierce old man! So, are you going to get your “follow” on?
