San Francisco: In the race for Twitter glory, Caitlyn Jenner - who as Bruce set the Olympic world record in the decathlon - is now first to the million-follower finish line. [caption id=“attachment_2274156” align=“alignleft” width=“380” class=" “]  Vanity Fair cover of Caitlyn Jenner. Image source: Twitter @Caitlyn_Jenner[/caption] Jenner on Monday set a new record by hitting one million Twitter followers in four hours and three minutes, according to a post on the Guinness World Records website - besting the time recently set by US President Barack Obama. It took Obama about four and a half hours to get a million followers at his official @POTUS account, which had 2.54 million followers as of Monday. Jenner’s account at Twitter indicated that there were 1.28 million followers by mid-afternoon on Monday in California, where Twitter is based. Jenner - who in April confirmed she was transitioning to life as a woman - unveiled her new name and look in a sexy Vanity Fair cover shoot - drawing widespread praise, including from the White House. An official Caitlyn Jenner page at Instagram, where the single image posted was the Vanity Fair cover, had 384,000 followers.
