Following Friday’s earthquake in Japan, people around the world have sought the latest news and information – be they stories of tragedy or triumph – from CNN across all of its platforms, including the network’s presence on social networks. In fact, the network’s breaking news account on Twitter, @CNNBrk, just this morning exceeded four million followers. And that number continues to rise at a rate ten times greater than the average.
