Pass My Will
Did you hear about the new website http://passmywill.com/ ? This is from a Lifefacker article describing the new service -
PassMyWill is a free service that will check in with Facebook and Twitter to see if you’re alive and posting updates, if you don’t appear to be active, it will send you an email to confirm your death, then it sends out emails to everyone on your list if you don’t respond
Even though the service might be genuinely useful for some, I can’t stop noticing the humor associated with it. For example, what exactly is the confirmation email going to say?
Hey,
We noticed your inactivity on Facebook and were worried that you might have died. Please reply to this email if you are still alive.
Regards,
PassMyWill
It’s a bit like asking a woman if she’s pregnant. It’s funny if it turns out that she’s just fat. Similarly, the reason why you haven’t visited Facebook in a while could be just that you were on vacation.
On the plus side, it will serve as a nice reminder to catch up with your friends. If someone’s started doubting that you might be dead, then it’s probably the right time to amp up your social life a bit.
