Bieber Mania is growing on Twitter
Two weeks ago, the 16-year-old pop singer from Stratford, Ont., was the No. 1 most tweeted about topic on the social media site, according to the tracking website www.whatthetrend.com. Last week he settled for second behind a little event called the Oscars.
Bieber has been on Twitter almost a year, but it wasn't until January that his popularity growth really started registering, said Ingo Muschenetz of What The Trend.
As of mid-Friday, Bieber was ranked among the top 140 most popular Twitter users.
He averages about 11,000 new followers every day, which on Friday helped him pass the influential tech blogs TechCrunch and Silicon Alley Insider.
If his Twitter account's growth continues its frenetic pace, he'll likely crack the Top 100 by April. But it would still take months to approach the Top 10, an elite group with more than three million followers, such as Lady Gaga, John Mayer, Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, Ellen DeGeneres, Britney Spears and the top dog, Ashton Kutcher.
