Twitter, Michael Jackson & msnbc

As the world tunes into the Michael Jackson memorial, Redmond-based msnbc.com is there with live online video. But the coverage has a bit of a twist too. For the first time on a major news event, msnbc.com has integrated a live Twitter stream. As Mariah Carey sang "I'll be There," the Twitter messages were moving so fast that one could barely keep up.

"WOW... this is so sad. Watching the Michael Jackson memorial. What a wonderful tribute to such an influential man!!!!!," wrote one Twitter user.

"MJ's memorial is like the most tweeted n watched thing since Obama Day & The Finals," wrote another.
