Preparing for the Michael Jackson memorial online, Internet connection problems and finding live feeds, photos and video amidst bogus websites.
Michael Jackson’s memorial will air on television and online on Tuesday July 7, 2009. This day may pose problems for online access whether or not Michael Jackson memorial 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 memorial 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 memorial 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 memorial, 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 memorial 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 memorial in advance. As mentioned, the Michael Jackson memorial 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 memorial 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 memorial 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 memorial 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.
