Twitter, along with AIM and other sites crashed yesterday. It’s great to see technology a way for people to communicate and get informed, but when they crash…really makes us feel helpless doesn’t it?

Today I am remembering my love for the pop icon. You can say what you want about him but I will always remember him like this:

I tweeted the second I heard the news. Unfortunately, because of all the traffic, my tweet never go through.
That’s how I first heard about it. Andy Roddick tweeted about it and I immediately began checking Google News to see if it was true.
I found out the same way lefty did. I had just gotten home from work and went to Twitter and read Andy Roddick’s tweet about MJ passing. Such an interesting age we live in.
My family feels so connected to Michael Jackson becuse, we are from Gary, we are from large families – 8 in ours and 9 in his, and we share the same last name. May God bless Michael Jackson and his family during this time of such personal lost them as well as for the world.
raises hand. saw harvey levin’s post first from tmz.

I found out about it from twitter. SO yeah.
it really was amazing to watch this spread online, i found out and looked and NO news site had it picked up, then slowly LA Times reported he was hospitalized but online sources and TMZ had it confirmed dead for an hour at that point. . . here is more info about it spreading online:

I one of those weirdos who refuse to jump on the bandwagon of new trends sometimes just because I refuse to be a lemming, so I actually first got a phone call from my husband, who listens to a news radio station; I went to TMZ; between his radio station and TMZ I was ahead of the tv stations and even my usual internet news sites.
This is dedicated to the loved ones we have lost:

Michael Jackson was a long time fan of mine. He will be greatly missed by me and the world. One of my first dances I did was taken from Michael’s Jackson moves. I perform the dance at one of my family reunions in 1984. Michael was my child hood hero.
Maybe singing stars of today can play those 50 concerts in london and cover his and there songs and share how he inspired us all.
I think the “This is it” concert should go ahead as a tribute to the King of Pop, raise the money for Charity ! Michael would be there in spirit and he will live on in our hearts and minds
I agree that the concert should go on and other celebrities should offer there assistance to raise some funds for the kids….Michael Jackson was a legend and will always remain one he was a gift to this planet has done a lot for the poor and the needy he will always be someone who will be remembered for decades….love you mic
I would agree to continue to do the concerts in his rememberance and the kids get the moneys. xxxxxxx
God bless the Jackson family especially the children. I was a big fan especially during the 80’s, cut out every pic or poster I could from magazines that my dad would bring home. I’ll miss you Michael. R*I*P*
I was driving when I heard the news, my mind went back till my childhood, I grew up with MJ’s music and to my surprise my joungest kid (10) became Michael Jacson’s fan when listened Thriller, he pop up the volume of every single son played at the radio yesterday. Michael Jacson you will live forever in our hearts.
I grew up in Philippines and in high school he was big, every single teenager loved him, boy or girl, he was the idol. In that country, going to his concert is only a dream since we are in the otherside of the world. Even celebrities in Philippines are trying to immitate his moves and had become popular for doing that. it was sad about the scandal. The come back concert was something I was looking forward to.Time has healed, it was time to revive his name. I promised myself I will see him perform live, now that I am grown up in Canada, he is almost within reach, I can afford to go to his concert now but to my dismay I didnt even have the chance to see him perform live. We will always remember him. He is once a part of our lives, the mania, and no one is quite like him. We mourn for his death and we do hope he is in a better place. May God bless him and his family.
i grew up listenining to M.J. It is so sad tha world has lost a great entertainer. M.J u will b missed but never forgotten u r tha king of pop music. i enjoyed tha music he made. R.i.P. MiChAeL JaCkSoN..
The MAN IN THE MIRROR has sadly passed away. His mission to HEAL THE WORLD thru his music and amazing talent will always be here to stay.
Some of us are BLACK OR WHITE, but we
are all of HUMAN NATURE. I WANT U BACK, however we are now only left to REMEMBER THE TIME. We want to ROCK WITH YOU forver. U will be missed. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
Michael Jackson will be greatly missed, but his music will live on! Check out this tribute to him….awesome is all I can say. We’ll miss you Michael.

Kutcher is d man with the plan! http://www.shortpeopledate.com/
I grew up listening to MJ’s music. i probably know all of it by heart. That’S how good he was. It is so sad that he had to die like that .The world indeed has lost an Icon. May your gentle soul find rest at the bossom of the Lord…Ur surely loved by all!!
“Make that change!” OK people – Sony, iTunes, Amazon, et al, lawyers, family spokesmen, t-shirt sellers – a percentage of the gross profits/fees goes to children (UNICEF?) – in the case of Record companies/Distributors make it permanent like J.M. Barrie. In 1929 Barrie specified that the copyright of the Peter Pan works should go to the UK’s leading children’s hospital, Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. We can do the same! Stop buying flowers (that die) and candles (that go out). Help the children. Michael would have liked that.
Michael RIP to the pop king that ever lived you brought out so much excitiment and energy to each and every song. Never knew a country girl like myself could ever get your moonwalk down. I did Mike hahah!
Teaching my 3 kids lol so much fun that you bring to families lives….Thank you for all that you and your sensational music brought into MINE…. Peace….Rest…
Terri
i found out on twitter!
I had just woke up, and I went on twitter. things like ‘R.I.P. MJ’ were posted everywhere. i was thinking whos MJ? then a saw a tweet that said ‘Rest in peace, michael jackson.
THE LEGEND IS DEAD, BUT HIS MUSIC WILL LIVE FOREVER. RIP MJ
I will miss MJ very much. He was such a great entertainer and made so many people happy. We put together a really nice tribute site for him at http://www.mjtributesite.com/ There is a chat room, condolences wall, photos, videos and links… stop by if you get a chance.
