CNN Acquires Twitter Account (@cnnbrk)

Now this is very interesting, apparently the @cnnbrk twitter account doesn’t actually belong to CNN, or didn’t originally.  Some guy named James Cox actually owned the account.  CNN has now acquired the account from Mr. Cox for no tellings how much money.  We all know that they are doing this to turn up the heat on Ashton Kutcher. 

I have no idea if Fox News has a Twitter Account?  Anyone out there know?? They were closing in on CNN for a long time but CNN is so far ahead of the curve in my opinion, I mean come on, Holograms… 

Hard to believe, but the CNN Twitter account racing Ashton Kutcher to 1 million subscribers wasn’t even under CNN’s (TWX) control until recently.

CNN confirms that it has has taken control of the @cnnbrk account — and its 944,000 followers.

This is no-brainer for CNN, and we hope they paid previous owner James Cox a lot of money for the account he’s nurtured. By adding more stories to the feed — and links to CNN’s site — CNN.com could generate hundreds of thousands of extra pageviews per day.

Whoever is control of the account has been tinkering with it in the last hour or so, adding five CNN-owned or CNN reporter accounts to the ones it’s following.

Perhaps it’s a coincidence, but a recent tweet on Cox’s account suggests he’s recently visited CNN’s HQ in Atlanta. "On the way home after a busy two days. Goodbye Atlanta!"
