 enbar says: This is frankly something it never occurred to me to think about. This is a badge that tracks your logins. If you fail to log in for a specified amount of time, the status changes: Alive, Possibly Alive, Probably Dead, etc. After a certain amount of time, it sends a "death notice" via email to the person or people you specify, informing them of, say, where your will is kept. To be announced, A forum for on-line memorial services. I don't know if it's ridiculous, creepy or useful xDD thanks for sharing the info! Odd. I was just thinking about this issue a day or so ago while checking yet again on some blogs that I like to read and finding that they continue to lack new posts after many months. Have these bloggers just lost interest in posting, are they too ill to write, or have they died? If dead, how long will their blogs continue to exist in cyberspace, mysteriously silent? What will happen to my own blogs when I'm gone? Morbid thoughts, perhaps, but valid ones. One Australian blogger I follow stated that he has arranged for his son to place his final post so that people will know that he has died. This LifeStatus badge may be a useful alternative for those without a trusted friend or relative t... I was thinking about this too. I have at least one dead person on my AIM buddy list, who mysteriously appears to be logged in from time to time. I have no idea why or how. I've also visited the Facebook pages of various dead people and noticed that they continue to get wall posts and so forth. It's strange. |
