Here’s an excerpt.

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!

Here’s an excerpt from my CNET Asia blog post.

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.
