Mention Beiber and you'll get a swarm of likes, Rts, and responses. It used to be a personal game for me to get a friend to mention him and watch the swarm.

It used to kill the usefulness of your notifications for at least a day. ;)

Oh man, disappointed that doesn't work anymore. I guess the bots have moved onto other oddballs. :(
