Justin Bieber accounts fοr 3 percent οf аll Twitter traffic

Justin Bieber's plan for world domination is just 97 percent short of completion.
The 16-year-old, who is often a trending topic on Twitter, now accounts for 3 percent of all traffic on Twitter, according to an employee of the social-networking site.

Designer Dustin Curtis recently tweeted that "racks of servers are dedicated" to Bieber, who has over 5 million followers on the site, according to the unidentified employee.
Twitter recently tweaked its trending algorithm so that themes spiking in popularity and breaking news would trend, rather than just longstanding topics. They assured Bieber it had nothing to do with him. "@justinbieber the TT tweak is nothing personal. It was long planned & better shows what is emerging right now," the company wrote on its personal handle.

Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber attracts so many visitors to Twitter that the site has racks of servers dedicated simply to helping meet demand.

With more than five million followers, the 16-year-old star uses a significant proportion of the global social networking site’s resources, meaning the Baby singer has to have special systems in place to cope with demand, Digital Spy reported.

Dustin Curtis, a designer for Twitter, tweeted: "At any moment, Justin Bieber uses three per cent of our infrastructure. Racks of servers are dedicated to him."
He added that three things can be guaranteed to drive Twitter traffic up: "(a) bashing airlines, (b) bashing Comic Sans, (c) Justin Bieber".
