But Yahoo, which was even a little late to the story, crushed it too, setting all-time record in unique visitors with 16.4 million people. Yahoo&#39;s front page story “Michael Jackson rushed to hospital” saw 800,000 clicks in 10 minutes.&#34; <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/rupert-murdoch-explains-his-plan-to-charge-for-content-online-2009-8">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
