Michael Jackson - His death helped Internet Giants earn Millions


The "King of Pop", the Legend is no more physically among us. His soul may have rested in eternal peace. An era and the Euphoria which Micheal Jackson created, came to an end.

However, this article is not to debate or discuss about his death, his life or the controversies he created. Those have passed away. There is no point in discussing those things; actually those are totally immaterial now. But Michael Jackson was a Man we will never forget.

However, the issue I want to share is to talk about opportunism which spread across the world to gain even from Michael's shocking death.

Immediately after Michael Jackson's death, the number of searches on Google, Yahoo, Bing and many other search engines doubled and trippled. The updates and tweets on Twitter, Facebook and MySpace increased like never before. And there, people found the chance to take benefit of the traffic generated through the keywords related to MJ's death.

The internet media hype on MJ's death and related keywords gravitated the traffic people never expreinced. Someone has once said me, this is the world of Demand and Supply. People demanded information about MJ and the opportunist got a golden opportunity. Even for Internet Media and Internet companies, it became a not-to-loose opportunity as it was going to be a Historic Event. Most of the Television Media, Internet Media and Print Media companies made millions, billions and trillions through MJ's death. Especially on internet channels, search engines, social networking sites got filled with the articles, images, videos and music to hatch the Golden Eggs named Micheal Jackson's death. Micheal's death became a historic day for Internet Giants not for bad reasons, but for very very good reasons. Afterall they made money they can rarely make. This was the one golden chance for Internet and Technology Giants.

Micheal Jackson's death is a big tragedy, but the bigger tragedy is that the opportunist used his death to earn and to make millions. His death might be a big loss for few ones from his fans, relatives and friends. But it's a bitter fact that Micheal's death helped manier, much more people to earn millions.

Michael, you gave much to the world when you were alive, but you gave much more even at your death and after death!! We love you!!!
