2. What is a digital will ?
The digital equivalent of a written will, traditionally written and held by a lawyer.

3. What happens when you are dead?
Jeff Lutz’s grandfather's wife, Laurel
Lutz, passed away in 2011. Her side of
the family must have continued to
operate Laurel's Facebook page
because Lutz said he continued to see
updates and Likes.
"In the first week after Laurel passed, a
note went on her Facebook wall thanking
her family via various inside jokes and
drinking references," he says. "In the
weeks that followed, Likes of Dunkin'
Donuts began to appear, alongside
checking in at various locations. The real
topper was a 2011 halloween profile
image change to her face digitized on a
pumpkin."

4. Social Media Beyond The Grave
• if i die is another example of
socked-away messages, but the
company's Facebook app has a
different way of appealing to
users. Both if i die and
DeadSoci.al advertise their
companies as a way to stay
connected in the afterlife, but if i
die extends the opportunity for
world fame: When you sign up,
you can make a message for the
world.
• _LivesOn takes it a step further.
It's advertising as a tool to tweet Current Providers:

for you in your afterlife.

5. Current Social Media Norms
Like all creative products, literary works, research notes,
photographs, etc, that are created online will pass on to
the legal heir of the deceased.
•Facebook- It gives friends and relatives the option of
memorialising a deceased person's account. By
Memorialising an account sets the account privacy so
that only confirmed friends can see the profile or locate it
in search. Friends and family can leave posts in
remembrance. It also prevents anyone from logging into
the account. It does not divulge login details of the
account, but "verified immediate family members" can
request the removal of an account.
•LinkedIn &Twitter - Account shut if 'death verification
form' or request submitted
•Flickr - Account is terminated and photographs and
content permanently deleted if copy of death certificate
is provided.

6. Current Social Media Norms
• YAHOO - Email accounts of Yahoo are
automatically deleted if it stays dormat for over four
months. Yahoo will also close the account if a copy
of the death certificate is emailed.
• Orkut - Profile removed if death certificate is
uploaded and an online form completed.
• PayPal- If death is reported, account will be closed
and a cheque made out to the account holder is
issued to the legal heir.
• eBay - All data of the user on the buy-sell website
is deleted if death certificate is faxed to company.
• Google - Google says that in rare cases it "may be
able to provide the Gmail account content to an
authorised representative of the deceased user".
But the post on Google Support adds that "any
decision to provide the contents of a deceased
user's email will be made only after a careful
review, and the application to obtain email content
is a lengthy process.
