Facebook

What do you want done with your social media sites after you die?

Social networking sites are having to devise policies to deal with the death of a user – and some are getting it more right than others

It would make sense to describe what you want your friends or family to do in your will. Include your user names and passwords for facebook, MySpace, Twitter, FriendFeed, Orkut, LiveJournal, Bebo etc so that people can follow your wishes.

Whether you choose to delete the accounts completely, or allow others to post memorial messages is up to you, but for the first time in human history we have a digital legacy that will out-live us.
