Not that the social networking giant Twitter needs any MORE publicity these days (they’re doing just fine on their own thank you very much), but something incredible happened late last night – he was the first person on Twitter to cross the 1Million follower mark.

He beat out other celebrities and CNN (by a mere 1200 followers).  This happened so fast, Twitter was scrambling last week to change the way it displays user statistics so that it could fit the Million followers onto the display. 

We past a thousand followers just a few weeks back – and thought that was a huge accomplishment – 1 Million is really something else.

But even more important – yesterday’s events turned into a massive publicity EVENT and watch that drive new signups and activity on Twitter – it is about to get MUCH bigger within the next few days.
