Who's Gonna Tweet When I'm Dead?

March 15th, 2009 by Nick Seguin

I was thinking the other day - what’s going to happen to my social media personas/profiles/accounts when I die? I’m hoping that this doesn’t become a real issue for quite some time, but just the idea of it caused me to question - I wonder how long it will be until people begin to make specifc (and legal) stipulations about their social media presences in their last wills.

Seriously though, when are we going to read a news story that says: Mr. So-and-So has indicated that he would like his Facebook status to read: blah blah blah, that he’d like his grandson to update this status every month with the following list of quotes. Additionally, he would like his Twitter Account to respond with the following DM: blah blah blah to any new followers.

Or how about this - when is there going to be an app written that you can pre-populate/stipulate/dictate your SM behavior once you’ve left us and have gone on to that better place? [interested? ive already got user-cases and wireframes]

I’m pretty sure Facebook might have a policy on this, but I didn’t care enough to look it up.

I’m interested - what do you want your social media presences to do once you die songs of love hate download mp3 ? How will you take care of it? What is your list of requests? Let me know.
