Does anyone know what happens to your Online life when you die?

[SoFly]

Eg your Twitter Profile, Your Facebook, Email Account, do you have to appoint someone to take care of this?

[Gary H]

they`ll probably be closed once they haven`t been used in a while

[;D]

Nothing.

What you leave behind in this world will become the tools of those who seek to modify society to their own means.

It stays there til someone deletes it, I guess.
This is a pretty sad topic and odd that this is here, because there is a boy at my school who recently died, and his facebook account is still around. His name came up in the 'people you may know' thing. So no, their account does not get deleted, because obviously they don't know the person died.

Who cares anyway if you're dead?

ah great - another reminder about the subtle yet eerie reality that is , death.

I find the whole concept behind your question, somewhat eerie...i really do.

You didn't mention ones 'yahoo Q & A' account...gosh, its eerie to think/know that victims of 'terrorist attacks, suicides, murders, illnesses, accidents' perished - simply are no more, and all taht they have online is 'history' that they once 'used the net' :-|

Thanks for the depression mood swing you put me into heh, but I reckon eventualy after a certain period of time they automaticaly 'close down' cos of inactivity.

Look in the real world.
Decode this lyrics " My love will get you home"
If words and knowledge is vital for the survival and advancement of living human kind.
Can always try knocking YA if it's still in storage with Mr. Big Brother.
Instead of shaking and waking up the dead with left overs of empty skeleton of skull and bones with two empty eye sockets.
Who could not even rest in peace.
In stomping their feet on someone else graveyards in time.
Luke 9.25,55-56,60
What do you think?
"Merry Christmas everyone"

I guess you could write it in your will, but you don't HAVE to. I have a friend who passed away who's MySpace is still on my account. Kinda creepy.

I also used to think to myself,"What if one of my Y!A contacts dies? How will I ever know?" Truth is, I won't.
