Algorithm Banishes Bieber
Justin Bieber, the pint sized singer with that annoying hair, was until recently, a mainstay on Trending Topics on Twitter due to fan obsession.
Suddenly he’s gone. So what happened?
Apparently, the gang behind the social media site have come up with a new algorithm that identifies topics that are experiencing a sudden spike in popularity, rather than relying on topics that have been popular for a while or even on a daily basis.
Pity they couldn’t create an algorithm to ban him from the airwaves, but I digress.
For those of you suffering from Bieber Fever, you’ll have to wait until he actually does something like release a new single or album, appears on national TV, or announces he’s actually a lesbian something of major importance (like a new haircut?) for him to reappear on Trending Topics.
