Popular actor Ashton Kutcher has become the first person to achieve 1 million followers on Twitter this week, beating out CNN as the first to the milestone.
"We have shown the world that the new wave is here," Kutcher said of the milestone. "It is present and it is ready to explode. You guys are all of it because I can't follow me."
CNN was long the leader in the race, but Kutcher pulled off a rally in the last week that brought massive media attention to CNN, Kutcher and Twitter in general.
The breaking news page has since past the 1 million follower mark, and Britney Spears is within hours of passing the mark as I write this article.
Kutcher adds that Twitter is "removing filters between celebrities and fans, big media companies and their customers."
Now that the "race" is over however, all eyes are on Oprah Winfrey, who recently joined the site and gained 130,000 followers in under 24 hours.
