Steve Jobs touched so many lives that people around the world turned "iSad" on Wednesday, pausing to share thoughts about the charismatic innovator who shaped modern culture.
Tributes poured in from notables from US President Barack Obama to Bill Gates, but it was the scale of the outpouring from ordinary people around the world, hammering out characters on Jobs's own inventions, that was staggering.
As word spread that Jobs had died of cancer at the age of 56, messages tagged "iSad" and "RIP Steve Jobs" joined other references to the Apple co-founder among the hottest topics at Twitter.
By nightfall in California, thousands of people at global social network Facebook had signed up to take part in an unofficial Steve Jobs Day planned for October 14.
A stevejobsday2011.com website devoted to the event invited people to dress up as the Apple co-founder or talk about him, whether at real-world gatherings or at online venues such as Facebook and Twitter.
"We love what he's brought to the world," said a message at the website, which is dominated by a color portrait of Jobs.
"Let's take a day to honor the man...Everyone around the world is invited to participate," it continued.
A Facebook page devoted to the event explained that it was planned when Jobs stepped down as Apple chief executive in August for health reasons and was not intended to be a memorial.
Intended or not, the Jobs Day Facebook comment forum was flooded with remembrances and adoration for the visionary behind iPhones, iPads, iPods, and Macintosh computers.
"People often asked me what is it about Apple that makes you so crazy," Facebook member Pallav Desai wrote on the page.
"I say it was more than a product - it was a fight of a person who battled cancer; who was thrown out of his company, and STILL came back and showed the world iWAS iAM & iWILL change the world!"
From children who adore "Toy Story" and other Pixar films to teens obsessed with watching YouTube videos on iPhones or adults addicted to iPad applications and music from iTunes, people were moved to share their feelings about Jobs.
"In a sense, Steve Jobs was part Thomas Edison, Walt Disney and P.T. Barnum," said Creative Strategies analyst Tim Bajarin, who covered Jobs for 30 years.
"A modern technology visionary, focused in delivering products that are useful and provide entertainment and a masterful showman who really knew how to keep people on the edge of their seats wanting more," he continued.
Jobs gave the world the Apple II, The Mac, the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad and Pixar, altering industries and lifestyles in the process, Bajarin noted.
On Twitter, Brian Magallones respectfully equated Jobs to "a modern day cross between Albert Einstein and Willy Wonka."
Tweets streamed thanking Jobs for his innovations, and many people quoted from a moving speech he gave to a graduating class at Stanford University in 2005. The video had logged more than four million views at YouTube.
People echoed his advice to stay hungry, dare being foolish, and not waste time living someone else's life.
"Death is the destination we all share," he told the graduating class.
"And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life," he continued. "It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new."

What Other People are Saying About this Great Free Online Learning Program.
Thank you for the personal service. What an extraordinary company.
I came to know ALISON through a reference from FLUID, the Florida Unemployment Internet Direct Claims. As a tech writer & Web content editor who's out of work for the first time for a long time, I am building my skills in programming languages, software - and the skill behind all of them, typing.
Thank you for the service you provide. You're helping many professionals get back to doing what they love.
I have attained the ECDL qualification and as a "partially sighted" student found your learning resource extremely helpful. I shall recommend you to everyone, and send many thanks.
Paul Nethercott - Health & Safety Trainer - United Kingdom
A totally excellent Web site and learning tool. Well done to all those involved. I have been a health and safety trainer for over 10 years, and this accompanies classroom-based tuition so well and can also act as a routine refresher to a specific subject. Brilliant!!!
Veronica Fox - Training Manager - United Kingdom
Thank you for sending me your newsletters. I enjoy reading them.
I just wanted to congratulate you on a really great product that is ALISON. I have recommended it to several staff who are studying ECDL and they all agree that it is a really useful tool in helping to prepare for their tests.
I’m not sure whether they are using other courses but I have tried a couple myself and I find the site is easy to use and the courses there equally easy to follow.
Well done!
Sherrie Parent - Learner - United States of America
I'm really liking ALISON so far! I'm able to work on four different programs that I need to better my employment skills. Thank you so much for being here!
Emmanuel Kasingye - Learner - Uganda
I am a new person to ALISON. I am from Uganda. I find this online course extremely wonderful. How I wish the whole world knew about it!!!
Ruth Wilson - Learner - New Zealand
I love ALISON. ALISON and I are now best of friends. I have even shown my nieces and nephews what ALISON is all about. It's a great help to my nephew who is about to attend College next year... Thank you so much for introducing me to ALISON.
Lesley Atwick - IT Lecturer - United Kingdom
I'm an IT Lecturer at the Hill Education & Conference Centre, Abergavenny and we use your online training as a back up to our taught sessions. It's an excellent resource which our students enjoy using in the lessons and to revise at home. Its uncluttered format makes it clear and easy to follow. Thanks - we love it!
Kevin Kissack - Multimedia Designer - Australia
As an experienced online developer and multimedia designer, I have a critical eye for online learning/training. I was searching for an online solution to teaching first-time computer users. I am very impressed with this site. It is very well designed, very useful, well structured, and truly interactive (feedback/quiz/practice), which I know takes a lot of time and effort.
Excellent work!
Dominic Kirby – IT Lecturer – Ireland
ALISON will benefit our students by supplementing our existing courses by giving our students the opportunity to do some alternative study at home. The system is easy to access with failsafe measures to ensure that students can't forget their passwords! It has an attractive design with pleasing font, colours and layout. It is a welcome addition to our educational materials.
Maria Ema - Educator - Uruguay
... I did recommend it to many of my colleagues!!! You should be getting many more registered users from Uruguay soon! I'm planning to recommend it to my students as well, since I've found it to be extremely useful, pedagogically flawless and extremely suitable to cater for many different users' needs.
Isaac Michael - Learner - Spain
I really appreciate your services and for sure I will tell my friends about the wonderful programmes you offer to help people like me to explore the wide world of the Internet and the computer world in general. Thank you again and keep up the good work.

Thank you for your vision and creativity. We have a group operating here at Lambda and your site is used by both new and existing PC users. The word is spreading and already a lot of people in our town are learning through ALISON.com. Many employees are using the typing tutor and saving valuable time as a result!! We find that all the training programs are easy to access and use. Parents can start to catch up on their kids thanks to you!!

I have just completed the online ICDL course and it is really amazing. At present I am doing the Financial Literacy course.
Mick Kenny - Training Supervisor - United Kingdom
My work as an IT Training Supervisor has been greatly assisted since I discovered ALISON … [ALISON staff] have been excellent in assisting me to set the group up and have been rapid with replies to my queries. Myself and another trainer have already qualified in the ECDL and we recommend ALISON to anyone thinking about studying for it. The online course is very easy to use and understand and will prepare anyone, regardless of previous IT experience, for the ECDL tests.
