Would you believe that Justin Bieber and his legion of fans use up 3% of Twitter’s server at any given time — such a large amount of activity that “racks of servers” are dedicated to Bieber mania?
So said a Twitter employee, according to web designer and blogger Dustin Curtis. Yesterday he sent out the following tweet:
“At any moment, Justin Bieber uses 3% of our infrastructure. Racks of servers are dedicated to him. – A guy who works at Twitter”
One response to “3% of Twitter’s Servers Dedicated to Justin Bieber said Dustin Curtis, Twitter Employee”
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?
