When the rambunctious socialite Casey Johnson died Monday at age 30, she left behind her adopted 3-year-old daughter and a slew of grieving family members and friends. She also picked up 4,000 new followers on Twitter.

The Johnson & Johnson heiress and daughter of New York Jets owner Woody Johnson had, in life, been known mostly for her attention-grabbing exploits and the company she kept -- she was friends with Paris Hilton and, more recently, became engaged to the volatile reality star Tila Tequila. The cause of death is not yet known. But what you could find, almost instantly, was people on social media talking about her life and death in 140-character bites.
