Ashton Kutcher becomes the first Twitter member that nets 1 million followers and beats the tough rival CNN. Kutcher has challenged CNN to a popularity contest on the social media site Twitter to raced and get a 1 million followers on the micro-blogging site, where users post 140-character messages.

Online twitting was launched and founded three years ago by James Cox, a British web developer, as a way to get CNN news alerts on his mobile phone. See Kutcher's Challenge video and CNN's Respond video.
