Comment Facebook group for dead people (Score 1) 335
It's even more better than that. When you die simply add the Facebook group, "I'm Dead Now" to your profile. This automatically writes a tasteful and timely message to your Facebook wall, with obituary picture, and sends all of your personal information, including encrypted passwords, to each person in your address book, with viral instructions to forward to 10 additional people. This Facebook group also hosts chat rooms and threaded discussion groups, not unlike Slashdot, in which members can discuss the ins and outs of being dead, posthumous acknowledgements for any pre-publication papers you are sure will be regarded highly by your peers (even among those who hated your earlier works), and shopping ideas for those on the "other side".
One current thread worth reading for those new to being dead is: "who's going to clean up your mess after you are gone, and how much should you tip them?"
It's a great source of information for everyone is who is no longer quite all there.
