  • Internet Death Updates

    I guess this goes to show that even though we try and remain anonymous online, your internet buddies still grieve and care when you die. I don't really know what to think of this service, quite yet...

    Interesting idea, but I'd rather use the last one that required a trusted person to instigate the process. I would forget to log into the first one and freak everybody out.

      This is one of the reasons I use "remember me" at home. My key 'homes' are also in a bookmark toolbar always at the top of the window, not lost in the bookmarks list alongside sites I once liked and have never gone back to.

        I had thought of an idea like this, actually as a for-profit site, but I never really thought it was workable for some of the reasons mentioned.

          This is kind of funny in a unfunny sort of way..... my company just started a website designed for people to send notes (actually mailed, although e-mail being an option, and later actual handwritten letters will be stored as well and shipped out [granted they'd have to be opened.... to make sure people don't try something stupid]) to anyone they want once their death is confirmed.

          It's got a fee associated with it, but mainly since the primary goal is to send actual tangible things. And a few other things too.

            I like the legacy locker idea better.

              note to self... write down websites, user names, and passwords in the event the unmentionable happens...

                All those suggestions are good, but if one doesn't have family members who even know how to turn on a computer, let alone use one, they're not of much use.

                My mom is completely computer illiterate . . . she doesn't know how to turn on any of the computers, let alone use a mouse.

                My brother can use a computer, but his communication skills are limited, as is his spelling and grammatical structure - it's like reading Caveman. Not his fault, but even if I left a list of sites and logins and passwords, with his limited attention span, he'd forget to do it within 30 minutes or less.

                My baby sister I can't even trust to call me when I leave a message on her cellphone, so I really couldn't trust her with sending out notifications.

                I'm at a loss as to what I could do.
