It's not really about the project etc. it's more about, hmmmm, etiquette. I'd like people to know if I've shuffled of this mortal coil so they can all write nice things about me on their blogs etc.

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,
