A few minutes ago, the Instagram team noticed their servers blowing up. What happened? Were they under attack? DDoS? No.
Bieber happened….

Justin Bieber
Yes, Justin Bieber just signed up for Instagram. And he tweeted out his first picture to his 11 million+ followers. The result? Boom.
After I saw the tweet, I reached out to Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom, and he confirmed the massive influx as a result of Bieber. Bieber is gaining about 50 followers a minute at this point. All thanks to one picture. Of traffic. Systrom says he’s also getting one comment every 10 seconds or so. These numbers are unprecedented for the already popular photo-sharing service.
Celebrities on Instagram is nothing new — Snoop Dogg is a long-time user, for example. But Bieber is known for his cult-like following, especially on Twitter. His usage could really lead to another sign-up surge for Instagram. Instagram is just shy of 7 million users right now. And they were growing fast before Bieber — last month they hit 5 million users.
Most importantly for Instagram, they didn’t reach out to Bieber to get him using the service. This isn’t some publicity stunt. Bieber is just using it because he heard about it and decided to check it out.
That’s the kind of publicity money can buy, but it hasn’t here.

Justin Bieber won’t ever rape anyone. He is a Christian and I am one to and Christians don’t rape people, God doesn’t like that. But, if you were really Justin Bieber you would prove it in Instagram by putting up a picture of you raping somebody. I doubt that you really are him so FUX OFF JERK!!!!¡¡¡¡
