This initiative aims to help families find their loved ones who are still missing as a result of the floods spawned by the typhoons that recently devastated the Philippines, Ondoy (international codename: Ketsana) and Pepeng (Parma).
UPDATE: We’ve done it! http://twitter.com/aplusk is the first to reach 1 million users. Here’s @aplusk’s tweet:”Victory is ours!!!!!!!!” and @cnnbrk’s tweets: “Congrats @aplusk. Ashton Kutcher is the first twitter account to reach 1MM followers.” and “Ashton Kutcher is first to reach 1 million followers in Twitter contest with CNN.”
Not even CNN’s aggressive TV push could stop the Web from winning. So I guess you could say we Punk’d CNN Malaria no more!
I’m on sick leave right now and feel pretty awful, but I have to be part of this historic Twitter faceoff for a charitable cause.
Follow actor Ashton Kutcher at http://twitter.com/aplusk and help make him the first get a million followers on Twitter. If he wins, he will donate 10,000 mosquito bed nets to charity for World Malaria Day, and 1,000 if he loses.
