Aplusk (Ashton Kutcher) almost 2m Twitter Followers

April 16th, 2009

I was constantly refreshing to see who is going to win the competition by receiving 1 million twitter followers.

It's between Ashton Kutcher and CNN Network

I am supporting Ashton. By the way his film with Cameron Diaz was pretty cool.

When I refreshed I saw Ashton's followers jumped to almost 2m and then went back to ~990 000.

Twitter definitely is having hard time calculating the real number of the followers.
