[h1]Twitter Fight! Larry King To Kutcher: CNN Will Bury You[/h1]
Tuesday, April 14, 2009; 6:26 PM
"Do you know how big we are? Do you know what CNN is?!" Them fightin' words ¿ from longtime CNN host Larry King to Ashton Kutcher. King sentout the YouTube video (below) responding to the challenge Kutcher laid outyesterday to beat CNN to become the first Twitter user with a million followers.
So far, it's not working all that well for Kutcher. He is gaining followers at a remarkable rate ¿he now has over 870,000 followers ¿ yesterday he had under 850,000. But CNN isgaining them just as quickly. Yesterday they stood just above 900,000 and now they're just under 930,000. So Kutcher has stepped up his game slightly, offering Guitar Hero to the person who is his millionth follower. Come on Ashton, you can dobetter than that.
King, meanwhile, promises to take on any challenge Kutcher throws his way. He notes, "I'll go on your¿Twitter ¿ or whatever it is you do." Buthe corrects Kutcher that Ted Turner (the subject of Kutcher's throw down yesterday) doesn't actually run CNN anymore. But, he notes that Turner islikely to accept an offer to meet Kutcher face to face on Larry King's show to discuss the feud.
So what does everyone think ¿ has Twitter officially jumped the shark now? Larry King is offering to devote a show to a fake race to a million followers ¿ agood majority of which are probably spammers or fake accounts ¿ on a service that sends 140 character messages. It's nice to see all these big time namesusing the same services we all use, but come on guys, surely there's some real news going on out there (which I fully expect will be echoed about us in thecomments of this post ¿ beat you to it!).
