Wow! I know I share a lot online (like this comment) but don't think about if I die later today, all the stuff that is there ppl could pull up after. Strange thoughts indeed. Cache cache cache.

Someone in the community could gift another year of Pro on his Flickr account. I wish I had been more in tune with Mark's site. There are just too many of us sharing content to view it all.

I once was on the FB acct of a friend of mine who has listed in thier friends list someone who was a close friend of my sister, her nephews, & some friends. She had recently been brutally murdered. I had attended her funeral. I wondered at that time if her boyfriend or family would close down her account, what they would do if she received friend requests. Do we need to add this stuff to our will: -Will our account be closed upon our death? -Will they be updated to let friends know that we have died and about funeral arrangements? -If they are left up, what about friend requests - how will they be handled? - Will our main url be changed to that of a memorial blog where people can express their condolences? Lots to think about! Wow, very thought provoking ideas!

Lots to think about!
