Did you watch it? And if so, did you tweet about it? It seems a lot of people did: during and after the memorial event, the top ten trending topics on Twitter were all Jackson-related (including KFC, which got a high-profile endorsement during the ceremony from Magic Johnson).

Other stats: CNN delivered 8.9 million live video streams during the event, according to TechCrunch, while Ustream delivered 4.6 million. Meanwhile, Facebook integrated with several live video sites letting people post status updates while watching, and says more than one million users posted 800,000 updates during the memorial.

Oh, and more than 800,000 virtual MJ gloves have been given as gifts on Facebook too.
