Media outlets around the world are covering Michael Jackson’s public memorial with zeal. And Tinker is proud to partner with MSNBC yet again to take part in their impressive coverage of this monumental event.
MSNBC is live streaming video coverage of the memorial and a Tinker widget is live on the site, located directly next to the video, enabling fans from around the world to watch and tweet about the historic memorial in real time.
The Tinker widget, which is evolving with each new partnership, also now includes a “Featured” tab where select users’ tweets appear. MSNBC reporters Ann Curry, Contessa Brewer and Courtney Hazlett have been selected as featured users for the Michael Jackson memorial event and viewers can choose to view only these select tweets, or all tweets from anyone in the Twittersphere tweeting about the event.
MSNBC’s integrated Twitter/Tinker coverage is garnering some positive buzz from the Twitterati. Check out some choice tweets:
