'West Wing' actor and star of 'Scandal' Joshua Malina is marking his 47th birthday
this month by raising funds for charity using his Twitter account.

In return for a minimum donation of $10 he will follow your Twitter account for 
a whole year and dip in to read tweets at least once a week.

What is the value of a celebrity Twitter follower? So far Malina has raised $16,822
for Jewish hunger charity Mazon. It's not quite the $1 billion target he set himself,
but he admits in his video that that might have been a little ambitious.
