Justin Bieber Wiki

Instagram is a social media service for sharing photos and short videos. The site was later acquired by the leading social network site Facebook. Instagram is overall notable for popularizing the application of digital filters for the purpose of making photos appear aged or stylized.

Background[]

In the beginning Justin's username was swagisme but Instagram quickly offered to change it to justinbieber.[3] He also only followed Selena Gomez and she only followed him.[4]

In 2011, Justin Bieber joined Instagram and when he posted his first photo, it received so many likes and comments that the app's servers crashed. Instagram co-funder Mike Krieger said that he still remembers Bieber's digital ID in the database that underpinned Instagram—6860189—because Bieber's account was so often the source the latest problem. "I still know it by heart" Krieger says. "So many of the early scaling issues had to do with him hitting things we'd never hit before, so I got good at knowing it was him just by sighting his ID".[5] "When we built Instagram, we never anticipated the scale of engagement driven by celebrity accounts. The ‘Justin Bieber Problem’ forced us to rethink our database strategy completely.[6]
