In addition to the broadcast networks and the movie cinemas that will be showing the Michael Jackson memorial service tomorrow, MySpace will be live streaming the event as well. This is fitting, as social media has all but helped to immortalize the King of Pop, from Facebook to MySpace to Twitter. Especially fitting as MySpace is still a social network with a heavy emphasis on the music industry.

At 10 a.m. Pacific Time, MySpace can view Michael Jackson’s memorial service, which will be live streamed here from the Staples Center, courtesy of AEG. As MySpace is still a social network, users will be able to share the streaming event with friends and fans via comments and status updates. Also, MySpace Music is further commemorating Michael Jackson by providing 31 of the musician’s albums and 20 of his music videos for full free streaming domestically.
