The web is still inundated with Michael Jackson news, but just in case you haven’t had your fill, I highly recommend the site Billie Tweets. The concept is simple: Take Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” and pull in tweets that sync words to the music.
The site was made by 9Astronauts, the development house that also made the Blame Drew’s Cancer site a few weeks back. Another solid creation by them.
Considering that Jackson’s music is utterly dominating all of the online sales charts right now, this site is also a smart play to pull in some affiliate fees for sales from Amazon. You’ll notice the links at the bottom of the site.
Really fun web experience. These guys doawesome work, they also did Tweet Bricks.
Okay, just my 2c but
get the fuck out with mj news again and again… if i wanted to read about mj, would subscribe to different web sites. 1 was ok, 2 3 4 5 six, whole internet needs damn reboot
You’ve got to be FRIGGIN kidding! Whole FRIGGIN human race needs a reboot!
This guy is:
1) A junkie. Yes, it has been confirmed AGAIN! It’s what killed him people, just say NOOOO!
2) A child molester. How many families did he pay off that we don’t know about.
3) A freak. He had SOOO many operations on his face that it looked all fugged-up.
4) A girly-man. He couldn’t father his own kids and tried snowing the media that he could.
5) A pop $%^@&. The most lowly form of music, only a talentless hack would create #$%^@ pop music. Yes, he-was BAD!
Move on with your life’s!
how dare he snow the media
Please, take just 1 minute to listen to these gentlemen:

lol I agree.
I think you may be being a little harsh in your comments. Just because everything you have said is 100% correct, doesn’t make it so!
And have you had a little compassion regarding just who will be blowing Bubbles now that Michael has left the building. I think PETA shoud start an investigation about this poor little creature as it is well documented that a frustrated chimp can be extremely dangerous with no one present to attend it’s sexual needs.
At least the children of the world will sleep a little easier tonight….We love you Michael.
P.S. I know where you can get some cheap comeback concert tickets….
ha ha! if you’re janet, i’m tito
he was a legend!
he was a legend man!
Man/woman, shut the hell up and let us MJ fans mourn his lost. How would you feel if you’re daughter, sister, wife, mother brother or dad died. Damn you insensitive ass people NEED TO DIE!!!
You have to luv all the mourners who make a point of doing it in public. Just another BS permformance like MJ’s.
Show this gentleman the door.
R.I.P. Michael Jackson. He had some awesome music and I’m half tempted to go “thriller” my way down main street. With my iPod on of course, don’t want people to think that I’m crazy or anything.
Completely pointless but very cool!
guy is not even in his grave and the vultures come out, trying to make money off him… kind of sickening… but that is our web..
where’s the money here?
Everytime you click one of the album covers at the bottom it takes the user to amazon.com.. on ave you get 4% on all sales in amazons affiliate program.. I understand it.. I even acknowledge it as a good idea but don’t call it a tribute… like he guy gives a crap about MJ.. the site is designed to make money off someones death which is fine but tribute implies a noble action.. this site is no better than a guy hawking t-shirts in mj’s grave..
ok…
I didnt notice because these links appear just a microsecond in my browser, before they disappear. Weird.
Didn’t his sister play Penny on Good Times?
Doesn’t even work for me in FF 3 or IE 7. But I especially love the Amazon affiliate links at the bottom. Nothing is cooler than shamelessly profiting from a dead celebrity.
Pointless. Not that cool.
Pointless, not cool.
Pointless, but cool.
You and your life. Couldn’t have said it better. Don’t be jealous.
Very creative, I wonder how it will convert in terms of affiliate sales.
RIP Billy Mays
SUPPORT ALL CAPS DAY
I guess it will be about 2 hours before we see this site in two versions, right? Billy Mays – with his infomercials with the tweets coming up in sync with the shouting? Oh, and don’t forget the affiliate links for the products he sold!
The TC article isn’t about MJ, it’s about the creativity of the site written about – why bash it???
I live up the street from his parents. The whole street is blocked off with cops, and there are thousands of randoms parking on the curbs and walking around – to see what, I have NO idea. And 20 TV satellite vans. It’s a zoo. I hope this neighborhood doesn’t turn into a twisted Elvis/OJ lookiloo shrine. Thriller was a good album, but I’m done.
To: Vygantas ….. next time please read the title “This Site Is Awesome” is not about MJ is about the website……..
cool technology that can be implement in many other ways……………
Thanks for the write-up, MG!
I’m glad most people are enjoying my small tribute to a really great song.
Very clever.
There are certainly a lot of strange bedfellows in the list of tweets generated, especially when looked at in the context of the song. Irony galore!
It’s time to move on.
This is very cool and creative. I like the concept.
it will be over soon and then we can move on.. just another story
yah i no what you mean init it aways on
Thanks for the link. I like his music.
I love MJ!
Totally cool. I love it and I love how people are getting behind MJ and remembering him as the star performer that he was!
Not the only site that did a mashup! Check this one out. This was posted before on techcrunch. http://www.in-m...ael-jackson.com
Try IQ test for twitterers: http://iqpe.com
I like this concept and can see it proving popular..
This is very impressive!! To think they could hack this up in a few hours…Very cool.
To all you critics: I doubt they have this as a viable business…It is just for the moment..
rip MJ
moonwalk your way to heaven
this is how much we miss you: http://tinyurl....fanreactionpics
coolio
Nice site…guess some people have too much time on their hands to whine on blogs about what or whom they dislike.
If your child has been abused and you accept money for it, that makes you a pimp. He had to pay them off otherwise he’d have spent his life in court fending off those parasites who used their children to get $$. He was found innocent on all charges. Michael Jackson was loved by millions around the world. Get used to it and get over it ….
Love him or hate him…Michael Jackson was a musical genius…He was a kind loving person and ppl took advantage of him…
RIP Michael I love you..xoxoxoxox
I don’t want to flatter M.J but in all fairness he is a legend, some one who has really impacted the world with his song and his style…R.I.P M.J. ’smile though your heart is broken’ to his fans
