Conan O'Brien is on Twitter. In fact, he only recently joined the micro-blogging site last week but already has more than 500,000 Followers.
That is perhaps not so unusual.
What is unusual is that O'Brien decided, at random it seems, to Follow one anonymous young woman from Michigan: Sarah Killen
Killen suddenly went from having just a handful of Followers to having thousands. She also went from Tweeting about Twizzlers and Tetris to Tweeting about Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure and the Children's Hunger Fund.
Already both those charities are reporting an influx of donations. All because O'Brien decided to hand out a little fame. And the person he handed it to decided to do something good with it.
@ConanOBrien: I've decided to follow someone at random. She likes peanut butter and gummy dinosaurs. Sarah Killen, your life is about to change.
@LovelyButton Thanks for all of your donations for the 3 day for the cure! But now my mom need $2,500 to be able to walk, she's on team lovely button.
By the way, News-Banner is on Twitter too. And so is Online Editor Jerry Battiste.
