Justin Bieber is mindbogglingly famous. And while it certainly helps to have major labels, TV studios and marketing agencies in support, the germination of that stardom began on the web. As legend has it, the then 14-year-old Canadian poplet was discovered in homespun YouTube videos.

In 2011, Bieber, Inc. certainly hasn't forgotten its viral roots. He is consistently among the most tweeted, shared and viewed celebrities on the social web. When he talks to his fans, they reply and follow by the millions. It's the kind of persistent, real-time fame that would explode the heads of ye olde teen idols.
