In this modern age I find myself with several associates, colleagues
and friends that I've not actually met! While a in a regular, old
fashioned circle of friends, word will get out when someone starts
pushing up the daisies, the same cannot always be true of online
friends.
Interesting concept.
In other words, have a domain/subscription where people can register
and then record all the places where they would like notified in case
of their death. It could hold a bunch of different things that you
would want released/said after you die. Such as notices to your
attorney, life-insurances, email to people you like/dislike, and so
on.
The only fly in the ointment would be how to notify your account that
you are dead? Might have difficulty detecting that, at least just
yet. :-)
My sister-in-law has a pacemaker hooked up to a wireless connection
to a local hospital. If something happens, the hospital responds.
And what about the liability that a death notice might be
accidentally sent out? That might prove exciting, huh?
It's an interesting idea.
Cheers,
