Never has someone been as socially connected in death as they are now thanks to ‘Webwill,’ a new program launching for Facebook and Twitter.
‘Webwill’ is a program that allows you to auto-program your online status once departed. So, for those of you wanting to say a goodbye, you can auto-program a meaningful goodbye. For those of you with a sense of humor in death, perhaps this postmortem message will be something a bit more colorful. Either way, the dead now get a say in what their final status update is.
