Twitter a Better World

Ashton Kutcher got his 1 millionth follower this morning. Mark Satre at www.twitter.com/sinnersatre100 put Kutcher over the top.

In celebration of the momentous event he pledged to donate 10,000 mosquito nets to the Malaria No More organization. A pledge that was matched by CNN. The nets are about $10 dollars a piece and could save lives in underdeveloped countries. Kutcher issued a challenge to fellow twitterers using twitter Ryan Seacrest, Oprah Winfrey and Sean P. Diddy Combs. All of which pledge to contribute.

To help the celbs save lives go to http://www.malarianomore.org/ . I don’t mind saying that I love the idea of using technology to change lives like this. Kudos to Kutcher for highlighting a movement to save the world 140 characters at a time.
