Well, a friend of mine died (he was about 20) last week and within few days, somebody set up a memorial facebook group and it seems to work quite well, I don't think that anybody feels any need for anything else. On the other hand, nobody gave this any serious thought, he's still online on IRC, nobody turned off his computer yet, I think… This bother me much more, if I just suddenly died, what would happen with all my online stuff? 1000memories is just a tombstone. I'd rather like to have some kind of dead men switch, a place to put my passwords and keys for survivors. But I guess that we still have some kind of old-fashioned offline services for the last wills :-)

Well, I think you might have a new startup idea: track people that are dead but are still online.
