Here's a creepy thought

[corii]

When people die, where do their Livejournal/Facebook/et. al. go? Now we leave virtual detritus as well as physical when we pass on. Sort of like finding an old photo in a shoebox, except now that photo is up on Photobucket for the world to find once you've kicked it.

Yeah I need some sort of shut down program where some sort of shut down sequence can be activated, perhaps put it in my will. (You know, the one I don't have yet which leaves all the stuff I don't have to friends I don't have.)

Before I die, I'm going to make sure my blog has secure, reliable hosting for a few years, and a bunch of entries written ahead of time to be released on a schedule. Nothing juicy or scandalous, even, just plain old "what's the deal with..." complaining. I kind of like the idea of friends and family coming home from my funeral and jumping online to check if I've posted anything new.

Hah posting from beyond the grave. I bet some people would pay for that service.
