From CNN.com | By John D. Sutter | April 17, 2009
Ashton Kutcher has challenged CNN to a popularity contest on the social media site Twitter.

“The celebrity and the news network are racing to get 1 million followers on the micro-blogging site, where users post 140-character messages. Kutcher challenged CNN to the race with a Web video posted on Tuesday. If he wins, Kutcher says he will ‘ding-dong ditch’ CNN founder Ted Turner’s house.

‘I found it astonishing that one person can actually have as big of a voice online as what an entire media company can on Twitter,’ Kutcher says in a video, which was shot from inside a car and was posted on Qik.com.”

At this time (2:20 PM CDT) Ashton is loosing.
