Jackson’s L.A. Memorial an Interactive Event
Brian Quinton July 9th, 2009
In case you needed a bit of perspective on how events like the Jackson memorial service feed (and feed on) interactive media, here’s a link to a strong post from the AppScout blog detailing the traffic counts and social links that the live event produced. The Facebook Live Stream referred to in the article lets viewers of video streams on other sites see a real-time discussion among Facebook members of the content they’re watching. After testing it during the Obama Inaugural, Facebook only rolled the feature out into general release about two weeks before the Jackson memorial service.As the article notes, Jackson reached 7 million Facebook friends during the tribute. Fans were able to send each other a virtual sequined glove like the one pictured.In that regard, is it just me, or does Michael Jackson having one million more Facebook friends than Barack Obama seem to say as much about the President as it does about the King of Pop?
