As you all know we have been blogging consistently for 1 year. As you all know we specialise in all things MJ, but along our travels sometimes we come across good information and pictures about other people that does not really fit on our MJ Tribute Blog. So, we decided to put all these random finds on 1 blog called TheBESTofWHO.com.

We call it  ‘THE OTHER BLOG‘ -’THE BEST of the OTHER PEOPLE’.

We have added the site to our menu bar so feel free to check out our random & quirky finds from time to time.

If we do a SECRET POST on that blog the same MJ SECRET POST PASSWORD will let you in over there.

CLICK: TheBESTofWHOIt’s still very new!

Anyway I have to go now and prepare my MJtheBEST POSTS for tomorrow!

19:21 - One of Michael Jackson’s employee’s calls 911

The next forty-nine minutes are best described as the calm before the storm. The Los Angles Fire Department arrived at Jackson’s rented mansion in Bel Air and family members were alerted of the news.

20:10 – (Story Breaks) A small entertainment site called x17online.com breaks the story.

They post photos and a brief story a full 20 minutes before the much larger entertainment site TMZ.com posts the news. Information goes live on the internet. BOOM!

20:30 - TMZ.com posts “Michael Jackson — Cardiac Arrest”

TMZ.com posts the story on its homepage and the story is distributed to hundreds of thousands of people via RSS. My guess is they paid a pretty penny for the image above and it paid for itself ten fold with all of the links TMZ got from the story.

21:12 - Wikipedia reports Jackson’s Cardiac Arrest

Wikipedia report

A member of Wikipedia adds the news of the Cardiac Arrest to Jackson’s Wikipedia article. This is well before any other news or social media source.
