- angusm, on 06/26/2009, -5/+170Introducing the Twichter Scale: a scientific way of measuring the perceived importance of any event by the impact on Twitter's server cluster. The reference unit is the michael. Some theoretical examples:
Michael Jackson's death: 1 michael
Your girlfriend dumping you: 1 micromichael (1/1,000,000 of a michael)
Your girlfriend dumping you if you're Brad Pitt: 2 decimichael (1/5 of a michael)
War involving two countries in Central Asia: 1 centimichael (1/100 of a michael)
War involving a country that you can actually spell: 1 decimichael (1/10 of a michael)
Scarlett Johannson and Megan Fox making a lesbian sex tape: 1 deca-michael (10 michaels)
The end of the world: 1 kilomichael (1000 michaels)

- DawgMan93, on 06/26/2009, -3/+98I think its admirable that when he dead, he wasn't going down without taking Twitter with him.
A true hero. - atgmac, on 06/26/2009, -0/+94They're claiming copyright on the word "No"?
- MrSketch, on 06/26/2009, -0/+91I don't mean to be an HTML markup purist or anything, but really, a 4k HTML file and over 7k of CSS just to say:
No.

That seems a little excessive, no? - dicer999, on 06/26/2009, -0/+78I tied my shoes today!
- Kojangie, on 06/26/2009, -9/+86"I WILL BE GETTIN OFF TWITTER FOR A FEW MINUTES IN DEDICATION OF MICHAEL JACKSON... LONG LIVE THE KING"

- ifruit, on 06/26/2009, -0/+64Now that MJ is dead, everything in Iran must be back to normal. The Protesters should take a couple days of rest until the media comes back. North Korea better do another bomb test.
- chumprock, on 06/26/2009, -1/+54They replaced the fail whale for that one:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/raouldraws/3661418856 ... - Hortnon, on 06/26/2009, -0/+52Maybe the extraordinary amount of HTML it took to write the word 'no'?
- pathouston22, on 06/26/2009, -0/+47Yeah, I published a book about it 4 hours ago. It should be on bookshelves in hardback in about 27-minutes.
- L0NER, on 06/26/2009, -3/+48about that iran thing....

Boy does he look like a huge dick right now. - PowderedToasty, on 06/26/2009, -0/+33I've been camping out in line since Thursday evening. I can't wait!
- CaughtThinking, on 06/26/2009, -2/+35This pretty much sums up Twitter.
- UselessTrivia, on 06/26/2009, -4/+36Do you honestly believe that the printing press didn't play a role in the American Revolution?

you're my hero - PowderedToasty, on 06/26/2009, -0/+19I bet the news of Michael Jackson's death spread faster than anyone else's in history. Does anyone know if this has been studied at all in some way?
- boozedrinker, on 06/26/2009, -0/+18Do we really need a "how" on this? Let me explain it:
1. Big news story, lots of traffic, site ***** up. - netneutrality, on 06/26/2009, -4/+22I know this is a little off topic, but I just mixed carbonated water in with my milk. Oh dear God does it taste horrifying.
- BocoDragon, on 06/26/2009, -0/+18Yeah it really was an amazing phenomenon... I was at work. My friend's sister called him to tell him. We double-checked via 3G internet.. and within 5 minutes the entire two block retail store had told each other. The story had been on the web for about 20 minutes.
- 7m7uf, on 06/26/2009, -2/+19Gee... i didn't even think to look at the source.. I almost fell out of my seat when i seen all that code.
- chasebadkids, on 06/26/2009, -2/+19Its a conspiiracy...Michael Jackson is alive with Tupac and Elvis
- ultrafez, on 06/26/2009, -3/+19@7m7uf
