NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — Viewers who flocked to coverage of Michael Jackson's memorial service Tuesday saw many wondrous sights, ranging from the entertainer's daughter speaking in public to a re-creation of his famous composition "We Are The World."

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to save New York's media industry.

De acordo com alguns analistas e portais de notícia, a transmissão ao vivo do funeral de Michael Jackson, realizada na tarde de hoje, consistiu no “maior evento online da história da internet“. Pessoas do mundo inteiro, que em sua grande maioria estão em seus respectivos trabalhos, puderam assistir sem nenhuma dificuldade a transmissão original da CNN através da CNN Live, disponível pela internet (www.cnn.com/live). E o melhor de tudo: o serviço de livestream da CNN (integrado ao Facebook) não oscilou e recebeu milhares de elogios das pessoas que acompanhavam pela internet. Outros portais e serviços, como: Sky News (Reino Unido), Hulu e MySpace também forneceram imagens em tempo integral do memorial.
Duas semanas atrás, as notícias da morte de Jackson causaram uma enorme “pane” em diversas ferramentas. Facebook e Twitter sofreram as consequências da enorme manifestação gerada por seus milhões de usuários.
Basta ver também a constante aparição das tags #MJs #Michael Jackson #We Are The World #Memorial e tantas outras no Twitter, desde que o “Rei do Pop” faleceu.
O que podemos concluir com isso?
Que este foi, sem dúvida alguma, um dos acontecimentos que mais consolidaram a força da internet como uma plataforma de mídia de massa. Incontáveis pessoas assistindo via internet e interagindo ao mesmo tempo, é algo que a televisão tradicional ainda não proporciona com tanta “autoridade”, e se torna cada vez mais um diferencial para qualquer pessoa, sem limitações de faixa etária, classe social e nacionalidade. É o mundo cada vez mais digital!

I was recently at a dinner party with several other couples and after dinner, we were engaged in some healthy conversation which ended up on the topic of challenges in Black America and particularly black youth. Although we were discussing Black America, the issues discussed weren't just focused on black Americans, as some of the members of the group were Jamaican and Haitian. The dialogue pretty much revolved around the plight of many impoverished black communities in this country and why some individuals overcome those circumstances and others don't. (Read More)
