Twitter is aflutter over Oprah.The megastar talk show host plans to send her first message, or "tweet," on the hot micro-blogging service on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" on Friday.

Oprah announced the creation of her Twitter account, @oprah, on her Facebook page on Thursday and attracted more than 34,000 followers in just a few hours.

She said the guest on her show on Friday would be the man she described as the "King of Twitter" -- Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher.

Kutcher, who is married to actress Demi Moore, is currently engaged in a high-profile battle with 24-hours news channel CNN to be the first to gather one million followers on Twitter.

Oprah is the latest celebrity to begin using Twitter, which allows users to pepper their followers with messages of a maximum 140 characters.

Other well-known users include British actor and playwright Stephen Fry, NBA star Shaquille O'Neal and seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong.
