Is @aplusk Ashton Kutcher smiling now that major corporations are eating his dust when it comes to followers on Twitter? Now that his twitter account is about to make it to the 4 million mark of followers more and more corporations are finally surpassing this million follower milestone. This just recently happened to Dell’s @DellOutlet twitter account and there was no real fan fare on their part.

Lionel Menchaca Dell’s Chief Blogger just wrote that the million follower mark just kinda snuck up on them. He further writes that they are happy to be in the company of other brands like @Google, @WholeFoods, @Zappos, and @JetBlue

We here at @Twarketing have been tracking these corporate brands using site like Twitterholic and Twittercounter and we have come to one conclusion.  This million follower mark is just the beginning. If you look at the corporate brands that are not major celebrities, sport figures, news agencies, popular online publications and of course Twitter themselves the top 10 would round out like this:

	Corporation/Brand	Twitter Followers	Twitter Friends	Twitter Name
1	Google	1,457,835	167	@google
2	Whole Foods	1,263,357	512,976	@wholefoods
3	Zappos	1,214,336	400,421	@zappos
4	woot	1,207,896	16,517	@woot
5	JetBlue	1,132,685	117,628	@jetblue
6	DellOutlet	1,098,523	24	@delloutlet
7	Ustream	1,074,034	108	@ustream
8	Amazon MP3	997,247	544	@amazonmp3
9	CBOE	794,896	5,791	@CBOE
10	CME Group	786,454	2,602	@CMEGroup

Let me know your thoughts on how your brand is doing on Twitter.

All the best

If you missed Ashton Kutcher Live early this morning  you missed history when Mr. Punked himself went over the 1,000,000 mark of followers on twitter.

All I can say is that I knew this would happen eventually but I would not have thought it would be Ashton of all people. I was rooting  for Obama…;-)

But Ashton and CNN went at it toe-to-toe and Ashton prevailed.

Here is the Tweet he sent out when he hit the 1 Million mark.

This is the first milestone but it won’t be the last for Twitter. I predict someone will get to the 2,3,4 and 5 million mark before the end of this year. So hold onto your hat Twitter Universe we are in for a bumpy ride…;-)

Holla
