Leo Laporte and friends get random woman 3,200 followers in 40 min

A random act of kindness during the recording of TWiT - Episode 238 gave Lisa Etheridge a solid 3,200 followers in less than 40 minutes at an alarming rate of 80 followers per minute or 1.3 followers a second. She got her mass Twitter followers after Leo and Kevin Rose were inspired by Conan's previus act of kindness and it was up to Kevin to find a user at random and Lisa was that user.
After they mentioned her on the show, her follower count increased to about 1000, but after the story made it to the front page of Digg, her follower count rocketed to 3,200 and beyond. Near the end of the Episode, Leo seemed worried that she may not be as enthused about this as they were, so he offered to buy her an iPad and pay for her SMS bills. You need a pat on the back Leo!
