Ordinary Twitter users now have the opportunity to instantly add hundreds, thousands or even a million followers to their account through Million Dollar Follow (http://www.milliondollarfollow.com). By purchasing a $1 advertisement spot (each profile is limited to $1), members of the microblogging site can win followers at various points in the game. For example, when the number of participants reaches 1000, a winner will be randomly chosen from that pool and the other 999 will be added to his or her list of followers. Depending on how early a user joins, there will be 150 chances to win during the entire process. The final drawing at the end will be a total of 1 million followers for the lucky winner.
Jonathan Nelson, the site'ss creator, was inspired by Ashton Kutcher and CNN'ss race to 1 million Twitter followers, which resulted in the Hollywood actor'ss triumph over the news
network. I wanted to find a way for any Twitter user to reach a lot of followers, even without any celebrity clout, said the Atlanta-based web entrepreneur. At the same time, it'ss a
great way to support a very good cause. The website will donate 10 cents out of every dollar it receives to Malaria No More, the same charity Kutcher gave $100,000 to when he won the
challenge. Million Dollar Follow'ss contribution will be able to provide mosquito nets for 10,000 families in Africa.
Launched only last Sunday, April 26, 2009 the site quickly added users within a short period of time, choosing winners at the 40, 100, 200 and 300 interval. One of the earliest winners is
@studentsarepoor, a college students who runs a website dedicated to help fellow students with practical financial issues. After the first 100 people signed up, he was randomly selected
and acquired 99 followers. Million Dollar Follow continues to grow exponentially, with over 200 new participants each day.
