Topolskyalsoasked Kutcherabout bothhis certainandalmost infamously disastrous practicewith Twitter. Topolsky recallswhen Kutcherwas the singleofthemostpopular celebritieson Twitteror,ashe putsit,'the Twitter evangelist.' Kutcherexplainsthatwhilehe usedto post things the bit some-more openlythanhedoes now,he's stillbigonthe networkand enjoyssome (but considerably less) conversationsthat occuron Twitter.
