See it, to believe it! With nearly 6,508,000 followers on Twitter, Justin Bieber has now surpassed Britney Spears (with about 6,504,000 followers) as the second most followed user / Twitterer on the microblogging site.
Back in May last year (2010 I mean), Britney went on to gather most number of followers on Twitter (beating Ashton Kutcher in the process), but eventually lost it to the "Fame Monster," Lady Gaga in August.
Lady Gaga remains the untouched, at least for now.
