Twitter blows up when famous people die. It’s actually a fascinating way of seeing how popular the source is reporting the info. Take a look at the favorites and re-tweets from these big named twitter accounts. I can’t explain it but I feel such a disconnect from these people dying that it doesn’t come off as incredibly important news to me.

Absolutely stunned to hear the news about Robin Williams. It's unimaginable to me that we've lost such a genuinely funny and sweet man.
