Remember the Time?
Reportedly, more people first heard about Michael Jackson's death online than from any other news source. This should come as no surprise, though I was glad I happened to hear it from Brian Williams first. There is something very cold about reading about someone's death in a brief headline link, which I've been doing a bit too much of lately. Somehow, that personal voice does make a difference.

CBS this Sunday morning had an entire story on this happening...in fact the commentator said that we should all remember June 2009 for the way twitter was used to spread information about the elections in Iran and Michael Jackson's death...it's what we've been talking about...it's time to stop using technology for the coolness and start using it because it's the best way to spread the information.
ReplyDeleteBoth of your make good points! In fact, I was watching the CBS Sunday morning show and found they really did the best job to provide information. I had forgotten about the Pepsi ad where he was burned.
