Preparing for the Michael Jackson funeral online, Internet connection problems and finding live feeds, photos and video amidst bogus websites.
Michael Jackson’s funeral will air on television and online on Tuesday July 7, 2009. This day may pose problems for online access whether or not Michael Jackson funeral live feeds, photos and video is sought. Fans should also prepare for Internet congestion and bogus website claims.
For starters, many sites claim to have the Michael Jackson funeral live and online already, even though the event has yet to take place. Some of these are harmless sites, others are not. Otherwise, Michael Jackson's funeral is scheduled at 10:00 a.m. at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and a number of legitimate live feeds from the nearby Nokia Center will be available but may be difficult to access.
When seeking to get a live feed of Michael Jackson's funeral, event photos, video or news – or to avoid Internet use problems – follow these tips:
-- Conduct important transactions online on Monday – or defer to Wednesday –to best avoid Internet congestion problems related to the event.
--Look at the domain name before clicking on a link. Stick with established sources, be it CNN, TMZ or Examiner to best avoid spyware and bait-and-switch website techniques.
-- Prepare for popular websites hosting funeral video and live feeds to be inaccessible temporarily. YouTube videos, for instance, may be slow to load. Try again rather than clicking on random sites haphazardly.
-- Get the facts on the Michael Jackson funeral and related memorials in advance. As mentioned, the Michael Jackson funeral is to be held at the Staples Center with a live televised feed expected at the Nokia Theater. Some websites may have domain names with similar spellings or play off the Michael Jackson name. Look for “Official“ websites via a search engine.
Michael Jackson funeral and Internet traffic
Perhaps, the interest in Michael Jackson’s death and funeral is difficult to grasp. The closest comparison based on worldwide popularity may be Princess Diana’s death in Sept. 1996. Here, an estimated 2.5 billion people watched the funeral on television alone.
\ Back then, of course, Twitter, YouTube or SMS messaging – among other technologies – didn’t exist, and the Internet was a loosely organized somewhat rare commodity. Add to this the record-breaking visits to websites with stories on Michael Jackson’s death. From this, a rough prediction on search volume for the Michael Jackson funeral can be applied.
The feverish number may well be in the billions on and around July 7. Individuals with dial-up, public wireless or low-end broadband will fare worse than higher-speed connections.
Not me, I’ve got a life.
Michael Jackson died? who knew? lol...amazing ...absolutely amazing at the hype to this man. He is being made to be made bigger in death than he was in life
I’d sooner drown....
If I catch one glimpse of the garbage going on today, it will be one glimpse too many.
Stop it. Just... stop.
Good night to me...
...everyone else too.
Mommy! Make it stoooppp!!!!!!
I s’pose there’ll be plenty of recordings of him squeaking.
Won’t waste my time listening. Ground Squirrels all around this place squeak too.
They are just as aggravating.
Actually, we should all work harder to find dns POST good articles that are about what is going on - Iran, Honduras, Can n Trade, etc...
Do not leave the field to the tabloid gapers!
I get the feeling this site will run just fine.
A celebration of popular culture’s lowest common denominator.
Look for the “Pedi-Feed”
Me? I'll be sleeping like a log.
Anybody know that site that does the live streams for various channels. When you go to the site you see TVs and pick one.
I can’t think of the name.
The msm has sent their ace reporters to cover the most important event of our time.
