EDIT::>> It has unfortunately been confirmed. Michael Jackson HAS died.
As I type Twitter is telling me something astonishing. King of Pop Michael Jackson has apparently just died of a heart attack!
There I was just browsing my twitterstream when I notice a rouge tweet claiming that Michael Jackson had suffered cardiac arrest. Naturally I investigated a little further and found, to my horror that there were thousands of tweets streaming in about the pop legends death!
If this is indeed correct then this will be one of those moments in life that I will remember for the rest of my life. It is definitely a "where were you when..." moment.
On a side note this is a perfect example of the power of Twitter's search engine. I checked Google and Bing immediately after hearing this sad news and there wasn't a single mention of it. Twitter wins!!

Yes twitter wins once again. I remember discovering of the news on Twitter as well and it was very shocking. Twitter as of now seems to be a very good news source. I'm glad to have joined though. The things that go on in twitter are quite amusing when you stumble upon them. (perez and John Mayer)
