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.
Basically yeah, except the attorney bit...
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. :-)
Hehe, yeah that's why I said that there would be a "I am dead"
activation code that you put in your real will. Your executor will
process this request for you in the traditional manner and the funky web
2.0 memorials could flow.
And what about the liability that a death notice might be accidentally
sent out? That might prove exciting, huh?
Exactly! The testing cycle could be a trying time for friends and
family!....
At least we'll probably fine a practical use for the "die()" function ;)
