Oprah is on twitter:Ashton 1M followers

Today, Oprah had one of the founders of Twitter on her show. With her reach, she will create a huge influx of new members. Ashton Kutcher now has the most followers at 1 million, more than CNN. He thinks that social media has changed the way the media operates dramatically. Now, anyone with enough followers can have a voice, and hopefully use it for a good cause. Advertising Age's article, http://tinyurl.com/ctjq2l"The Real Meaning of Ashton Kutcher's 1M Twitter Followers, If This Dude's at the Pinnacle of the Attention Economy, the Attention Economy Needs a Bailout" Ashton is so innocent, he has unleashed one of the biggest PR stunts in a long time. Their point is"Just that the utopian rhetoric of social-networking aside, the lesson of media history is that, regardless of the rise and fall of media conglomerates, media is almost always about The Few profiting at the expense of The Many's attention."
