What’s Ashton Kutcher doing in Russia?

By Karyn Dubravetz on February 24th, 2010

So the other day, I was running my usual twitter search to see what people were saying about Russian language. And much to my surprise, I saw a few tweets to @aplusk, who I happen to know is the unofficial king of Twitter, himself, Ashton Kutcher. So I click on his twitter page, and sure enough, he’s in Russia.

I was a little surprised, so I immediately googled, “What’s Ashton Kutcher doing in Russia?”

As it turns out, he, along with other American Technology gurus, was participating in a State Department Delegation to Russia. To put it very briefly, the goal of the trip was to meet with Russian technology and community leaders to discuss how technology and social media can save the world.

For more information, see:

My google search

***And finally, see Ashton talk about the trip live on USTREAM on February 25, 2010 at 10:00AM PST!!

So here’s my question: Ashton, now that you’ve been to Russia and all, will you be participating in the Tweetup this Sunday??? (Hope to see you all there!!)
