If you’ve ever been privy to the staccato stylings of Twitter, the website that’s sweeping the internet, you may know that between the hilarious fake accounts, there’s an unhealthy obsession going on with teen pop stars.
And now Twitter has revealed that there is a large portion of their servers dedicated exclusively to individuals that prompt large volumes of searches – namely people like Barack Obama, celebrities, and Justin Bieber. Over 3% of Twitter’s servers at any given time are dedicated to Justin Bieber – which means at any given point, I wish over 3% of Twitter would just shut down and explode sporadically.
It makes sense, though. Tweens and pretweens ane tweeners and tweakers have a lot of time to spare to update their Twitter account about how much they love Justin Bieber – and instead of writing it on notebooks, they’re able to bring in revenue for a much larger company, enriching Evan Williams and his developing brood of trophy wifes and encouraging his vices.
And here’s hoping Justin Bieber will be adequately encouraged to engage in his own vices, so instead of saccharine terribly produced music, we will be entertained with years of arrogant shenanigans from someone who doesn’t know what the German language is.

Whether Bieber uses 3% of all of Twitter’s infrastructure or not, what is most likely a cheap (the cost of a tweet) publicity stunt has the symbiotic social parasites of Justin Bieber and Twitter in the news for day longer: what better way to make both subjects remain trending topics? http://scallywagandvagabond.com/2010/09/does-justin-bieber-really-have-racks-of-twitter-servers-dedicated-to-him/
