Michael Jackson Has Most Popular Facebook Page
AllFacebook.com reports that Michael Jackson is now the most popular person on Facebook.
This morning the Michael Jackson fan page officially surpassed Barack Obama, to become the most popular page on Facebook. Over the past week, Michael Jackson’s page has grown from 80,000 fans to over 6.4 million, generating the largest response on a Facebook page ever. The page has continued to grow at a rate of around 20 fans per second and even quicker during peak traffic hours.
Michael Jackson's Facebook page now has over 7 million fans. It was 6.4 million yesterday but he's added many more fans today probably because of the memorial service today in Los Angeles. Twitter's most followed person is Ashton Kutcher, who has garnered over 2.6 million followers.
It will probably be the short, moving speech by Michael Jackson's daughter Paris that ends up being the most memorable part of the the memorial service. Paris made some emotional comments at the service about how much she loved her father. It may be a while before Paris gets a Facebook page or joins any social network. She's only 11.

TMZ, Mainstream Media Get Traffic Boost From Michael Jackson's Death
 AOL's TMZ.com website was the first source to report Michael Jackson's death so it not a surprise that HitWise is reporting the site saw record traffic. TMZ leaped into 60th place when ranked by market share of visits on Thursday.
As a result, traffic to TMZ reached a 3 year high, with visits increasing 5x in volume from the previous day. The market share of visits increased 18% above the previous high on February 20, 2009, which took place after TMZ published photos of a bruised Rihanna following the assault by Chris Brown. TMZ was 60th among all websites on Thursday when ranked by the market share of visits, up from 305th on Wednesday, June 24th.
HitWise also reports that mainstream media news websites and Google and Yahoo news search sites also received a traffic boost following Michael Jackson's death. The traffic boost for media outlets will continue for a little while as stories about Michael Jackson's death, health, music sales, children, will and overall oddness continue to be published. Eventually this traffic will slowly fade as people lose interest but Michael Jackson will stay in the news for a while - he was very secretive and there still is a lot about him that remains unknown.
