Osama bin Laden is a bigger presence in cyberspace dead than he ever was alive. On Tuesday, Google Tweeted, "On May 1 between 7:30-8:30 pm PST, we saw a 1 million percent increase in searches for [bin laden]"

At the time of President Barack Obama's speech, Twitter, Google and Facebook were flooded with the news of Osama's death. The search hype for Osama's death has outstripped the search demand for the Royal Wedding that, only 2 days ago, was the best performer online.

An indication of Osama's online stats: an old Facebook page about his death got over 400,000 likes in a matter of hours.
