Websites Like i-Memorial Promise to Keep You Connected Well After Death
Omar Yusuf — September 14, 2011 — Unique
i-Memorial and i-Tomb are a duo of morbid websites dedicated to the dead and those who expect to pass on in the near future.
After passing away, what do you expect will happen to your Facebook account or Twitter profile? You could leave the username and password in the trusting hands of a close friend, but now websites like i-Memorial are taking on these tasks. The website allows you to leave behind last words, thoughts and well-wishes for people in upcoming generations to cherish. In case you miss being poked by a now-diseased friend, i-Tomb is also a social networker that allows users to leave messages for the close ones that have passed on.
Ostensibly a permanent chronicle of human life, the Internet will allow us to cheat death by living on beyond our deaths in the memories of strangers, foreigners or descendants with considerable ease.
