I’ll admit that I was shocked and saddened to learn of Michael’s death yesterday…
Today what shocks me is the news that it brought down several bits of the internet… including Twitter.
I am not a very heavy user of Twitter, but I like reading what’s going on w/my friends and others. Great. Here’s my shock though… With all of the press coverage over the last few weeks about the blatant theft in Iran and how Iranians were using Twitter to organize, Americans were Tweeting about it, and everything else… yet it takes the death of Michael Jackson, one man, to bring down the site. How’s that for caring for Humanity?
I hope I never understand.
