When news broke that the King Of Pop Michael Jackson had died, rappers, actors and other celebrities took to their twitter accounts to give their reaction. "Michael Jackson showed me that you can actually see the beat," Diddy wrote. "He made the music come to life!! He made me believe in magic. I will miss him!" Busta Rhymes wrote "MY DELAYED TWITT IS AS A RESULT OF STILL BEING IN DIBELIEF. MICHAEL JACKSON UR THE GREATEST TALENT EVER KNOWN 2 MANKIND. R.I.P. & GOD BLESS...GOD BLESS THE JACKSON FAMILY..BE STRONG AND OUR PRAYERS AND BEST WISHES GO OUT 2 THE JACKSON FAMILY!!!!!TO THE MAXIMUM LEVELS!!!"

In related news, the massive traffic boost after the news broke caused sites like Twitter to slow down to a crawl. Popular sites like TMZ, which broke the news, failed multiple times and CNN's site even crashed. After the L.A. Times confirmed the news, their site seemed to die.
