I think that is how http://1000memories.com/ started. It seems they've expanded to genealogy and such. Huh, the site looks like pinterest.com.

Personally, I don't want my Facebook page to be my plot. There's got to be something better.

I think the whole idea of a digital presence after our death is a little erie. I read somewhere that the applause we hear on many sitcoms was actually recorded in the 50's and is just being reused over and over again by networks, which essentially implies that we may be listening to the clapping of dead people.

I've had it happen to me several times where I suddenly become conscious of the laughter in a sitcom, and can't stop being conscious of it. It's awful. Well, I guess sitcoms are mostly awful. The fact that they use a laugh track is exhibit A.
