Viral Video: Biebermania (And, Yes, It's in 3-D)

in News on November 1, 2010 at 12:13 am PT

Here’s the new trailer for the documentary “Never Say Never,” about the mop-topped teenage singing sensation named Justin Bieber. Given BoomTown’s advanced age, not getting this musical phenom is no surprise. But it is kind of remarkable to see what a good drummer Bieber was as a toddler.

Last year, BoomTown caused a tempest-in-a-Web-teapot by asserting that Facebook apps were, for the most part, inane. And, while many said the market would develop from the frivolous to more useful–making Facebook a true “utility,” as promised by Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg–that day is not today for the social networking site or its third-part widget makers.
