Ad.ly CEO Arnie Gullov-Singh had this to say about the phenomena:

We were finished setting it up by 12 noon yesterday, and at 1 p.m., he posted his first tweet, and now he’s got 900,000-plus followers — it’s amazing. Charlie clearly got it, how it worked, what to do. He started doing with some hashtags, like the #tigerblood one, and #winning. Look, he had the No. 1 TV show for a while, he knows how to talk to his fans.
