Will there be a 'competition' to 2 million Twitter' Followers?
Voided
There has just been too much uncertainty around the settlement of the question. The clarification seems at odds with the question itself and there is clearly no consensus on how it should be settled. Sorry!
Background:
Background: Ashton won round one, but will there even be a Round 2 or will Twitter remove the ability to see how many Followers the account has?
Category Editor's Note: This question refers to a competition between any twitterers, not just Ashton and CNN. If Twitter removes the ability to see how many followers an account has, it will settle as No.
Confirmed with question creator: This question will only settle as no if Twitter remove the ability to view the number followers.

: My presumption is that this question will settle as yes unless Twitter removes the ability to see how many followers a user has. I will verify with the question creator.

We need some rules or this question should be voided.
