This is uncanny.
Not minutes after we post about the most followed Twitter account (@cnnbrk) not being run by CNN, but rather a British entrepreneur James Cox – news breaks that the Twitter account has just been acquired, by CNN themselves.
We have been in touch with Cox and he has confirmed the news.
A full report on the story can be found here.

Good news for both James and CNN I guess :)
However, it’s not the most followed account on twitter. That piece of fame goes to Britney Spears, see http://www.tweepz.com/search?q=britney+OR+CNNbrk
You actually think i would have written anything without visiting their profiles? For your information, the profiles have always said CNN even when owned by James Cox.
Visit their profiles. You will clearly see that CNN is the top.
Ah, you’re right. Sorry for that… Tweepz data for @CNNbrk is outdated.
How much followers he had?
