Just how long did it take Justin Bieber fan stories to start flooding the new Facebook Stories site? A little over an hour.
At 9:23am this morning (Pacific), Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg commemorated the social network reaching 500 million users by launching Facebook Stories, a sub-section of the site where users could share their Facebook-related tales. Around 10:45am (Pacific) or so by my watch, Bieber-mania has hit Stories. Eyeballing the Stories page, it appears that posts exuding praise over the young internet singer-celebrity far outnumber any other type of Facebook Story (like "Love" or "Friendship").
If you click on the "Most Recent" section, all you will see are 'stories' of fans who talk about their love of all things Bieber. Some appear to have even taken his last name.
Says one user -- "I am also like INLOVE with you Justin Bieber."
And another -- "When I am in a bad mood al i have to do is check out one of your videos and then my day is made..."
Knowing what happened on Twitter, when Bieber was the top trending topic for a long time, Facebook probably should have anticipated this outpour and opened a "Justin Bieber" section.
