Comments on: What Happens to You When You Die. The Online You. http://www.lame-duck.com/blog/what-happens-to-you-when-you-die-the-online-you/ An unbiased view of the world from my point of view Thu, 02 Sep 2010 04:57:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Dulan http://www.lame-duck.com/blog/what-happens-to-you-when-you-die-the-online-you/comment-page-1/#comment-14655 Dulan Thu, 20 May 2010 16:56:08 +0000 http://www.lame-duck.com/blog/?p=99#comment-14655 Cogito Ergo Spud, as that great man said - "I think, therefore I yam". It's an interesting point - an old friend passed away under tragic circumstances some time ago. It's a little disconcerting when you find FB telling you it's his birthday. The profile page is full of people talking about how they miss him, which is probably a good way of letting people know. But email and other services wouldn't really be able to do the same. And does it need to be death? What if you leave your current workplace and no one knows your personal email address? Those people holding on to your business card will have to hope that the mobile number isn't the office mobile... Getting in touch is a lot easier than it used to be. That said, there're still some quirks... Cogito Ergo Spud, as that great man said – “I think, therefore I yam”.

It’s an interesting point – an old friend passed away under tragic circumstances some time ago. It’s a little disconcerting when you find FB telling you it’s his birthday.

The profile page is full of people talking about how they miss him, which is probably a good way of letting people know. But email and other services wouldn’t really be able to do the same.

And does it need to be death? What if you leave your current workplace and no one knows your personal email address? Those people holding on to your business card will have to hope that the mobile number isn’t the office mobile…

Getting in touch is a lot easier than it used to be. That said, there’re still some quirks…
