Yes, I own Thriller and Off the Wall (on vinyl!), but this is not about the work of Michael. The impact of his death on the Internet was pretty remarkable. Twitter, music sites, AOL's Instant Messenger, Facebook...you name it, they got rocked by the King of Pop's death. Twitter alone saw a peak of 5k Jackson-related messages per minute! Akamai's Net Usage Index reported traffic to leading news sites in North America was 20% above average.
