Fakta Menarik tentang Michael Jackson

Google menyangkakan trafik dari carian Michael Jackson sebagai serangan.

Google has confirmed that the surge of Michael Jackson-related searches on Google News Thursday was first interpreted as an attack on its service.

Google News was inaccessible for some people Thursday afternoon right as rumors of Jackson's death began to circulate, replaced by an error message reading "We're sorry, but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now."

Of course, those queries were quite legitimate, as millions around the world searched for accurate information regarding Jackson following reports that he had suffered cardiac arrest. The spike in queries began at about 2:45 p.m. PDT Thursday, and Google thought the traffic was an attack for about 25 minutes before realizing what was going on.

In life, Michael Jackson was the king of pop. In death, he also reigns as the king of on-line retailing and radio airplay.

The pop star's passing on Thursday afternoon sparked an immediate run on CDs, videos, mp3 downloads and books that showed no signs of abating Friday afternoon.

Amazon.com was sold out of its supply of Michael Jackson and Jackson 5 CDs and DVDs within minutes of media reports announcing his death and it then saw sales of mp3 downloads begin to spike. By late Friday afternoon, Jackson-related product sales at the company's music store accounted for 19 of the top 25 best-selling CDs; the top seven DVDs; seven of the top 10 mp3 albums; and six of the top 10 mp3 songs — roughly 60% of all music sales.

Even a collection of Jackson Five Christmas songs made the top-25 CD list, which was topped by a 25th anniversary edition of Jackson's Thriller.

"We've taken more orders for Jackson CDs and mp3 products in the last 24 hours than we did in the previous 11 years of the Amazon music store. The response is just unprecedented," says Bill Carr, vice president of music and video. " It's not a surprise, though. He's a legend and the king of pop. But the kind of sales volume we are seeing is simply unbelievable."
