Today Michael Jackson will hold his memorial at Staple Center at 1:00 pm EST, with live streaming from many medias. This is said to be the biggest celebrity sendoff of all time, knowing that there will be many people watching from all over the world, will the Internet experience another slowdown from Jackson’s memorial today?

On June 25, after the news that Jackson was in the hospital cardiac arrest, websites were flooded with people making searches and going on news sites to get an update causing a slowdown across the Internet as a whole. Sites such as Twitter crashed and Google giving errors original putting them to think that they’re under attack, AIM also crashed. But the next day, most of the websites coped with the increased traffic fine besides Jackson’s Fan Page which was still down.
