The questions recently about people not posting in awhile got me to thinking about people that post lessons online or conduct a lot of their daily business or activities based around the internet.
Has anyone made plans to notify everybody online in case you died tomorrow?
For instance, I could head out in my car this afternoon and get schmucked by a mack truck & everybody online would just think I was being rude or something for not answering.

Hey you kids! Get outta that Jello tree!! :mad:

There should be some kind of online service or something where you could pay a monthly fee to register all your alias's. If you miss a payment, they send out emails notifying everybody that you died.
A great service plus a great incentive to always pay your bills on time.

I think this is dangerous, if you were to come back from fighting dragons you may find your hobbit hole up for auction !

yeah - i also was worrying about the same problem. since i became an internetuser 5 years ago i have found some realy good online-pals who would probably never figure out what happened if i died (in a blaze of glory of course! *LOL*) .

Some of them do have my cellphone number, but who would answer the call? hmmmmms...

You could maybe get email servers to monitor outgoings from your inbox. After a certain amount of time (like maybe receiving emails from your service provider asking "are you dead?") the server could start issuing probabillities about whether X or Y is deadbased on a statistically unbiased sample of records from the centres of birth deaths and marriages. If nothing else you could at least appologise in correspondences by saying, I'm sorry, I've been 31.6 % dead since yesterday. Who could fail to sympathise? Anyone want to pay me for this business enterprise?
If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?

Who says you can't continue browsing the internet when you're dead? Man...I've known SCADS of people on the internet who exhibit no signs of human life. I figure they're just skeletons propped up on kitchen chairs, still clutching the mouse.

Well, this can be quite a question. Send an email to all your online pals right now, heading: IN the EVENT I don't return your mail after 30 days:

1. Assume I've entered the witness protection program.
2. Assume you pissed me off and I'm still mad.
3. Assume 'big brother' hacked my pc and well you get the idea.
4. Assume I lost my internet connection--- give me some more time...geesh!

5. or in the unlikely event that 1-4 is b.s. I'm dead...send flowers and write a ballad about how much you miss me. :-)
