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.
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.

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.
