THE MOSTIMPORTANT PERSONOF THE YEAR: CHARLIE SHEEN MEETS GUINNESS' RECORD FOR "FASTEST TIME TO REACH MILLION FOLLOWERS" He joined Twitter on March 1st and hit 1.2 million followers in a little over a day (25 hours and 17 minutes) CHARLIE SHEEN'S STORY IS MORE VIRAL THAN A CONGRESS WOMAN SURVIVING A SHOT TO THE HEAD CHARLIE SHEEN vs GABRIELLE GIFFORDS 2 MILLION 84,000 "likes" on Facebook and "likes" on Facebook and 16,425 1,500 "talking about" him "talking about" her #EGYPT #TIGERBLOOD, #JAPAN WHAT CHARLIE SHEEN CLAIMS RUNS THROUGH HIS VEINS AND MAKES HIM IMMUNE TO SUBSTANCE ADDICTION, WAS ONE OF THE TOP HASHTAGS OF THE YEAR (right next to #egypt and ahead of #japan) Charlie Sheen's online advertisement for a "Tiger Blood intern" garnered 74,000 APPLICATIONS FROM 181COUNTRIES If Google Search were the news...
