As I’ve mentioned before on this blog, my greatest fear in the world is the thought of people posting on my facebook after I’ve died. Or having my last tweet “immortalize” me. That’s why I, and I encourage everyone else, to find a buddy to IMMEDIATELY DELETE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET after I’ve passed.

caroline, you still know all my pwordz?

(clicky the headline to read the article about dead peoples and facebook.)

it’s me, caroline. how is this article still being written? the NYT writes the exact same piece every three months about the online presence of dead people. Monique, of course I know your passwords, unless you’ve changed them since 2005 when you made me promise that no one would ever write “Now you’re Myspacing with the angels in heaven” on your wall. I actually found out that a girl that I was friends with in high school had died because her profile was replaced by a link to her obit. It was super sad but also pretty futuristic.
