Twitter’s snub for Justin Bieber has not gone well with his fans but astonishingly, Just feels ‘honored’. The 17-year old rock sensation has hailed his fans for reacting after he was apparently blocked from Twitter and debarred from being included on trending topics.
So tweets the teen star, “So they block me from trending…im actually honored…not even mad…but then i get on and see yet again my fans are unstoppable! luv yall!”
Twitter has however maintained that it did not do anything to block Justin. Quoting from its official blog, “Twitter is about what is happening right now, and we have recently updated our trending topics algorithm to reflect this. The new algorithm identifies topics that are immediately popular, rather than topics that have been popular for a while or on a daily basis, to help people discover the “most breaking” news stories from across the world.”
“It is important to note that this new algorithm does not “block” any topics from trending.”
However, fans of Justin have come up with a most ingenious way to bypass the supposed block. They are tweeting as ‘Diustin Biber’. Earlier, a Justin Bieber blocking tool was released on the Firefox browser, following reports that the singer’s rising popularity was exploited by hackers everywhere.
