What Happens to Your Facebook Account When You Die?

After losing so many people in our family last year, it only seemed befitting to get this Bzz campaign for Otrib.com.  As a writer, social media is something we use frequently.  Now most everyday people use it, too.  What happens to your Facebook account when you die?  Here is some info from Bzz agent about how Otrib helps:

 

What are your Final Wishes?

Sure, it’s a morbid question, but it’s definitely one worth asking: what happens to your Facebook account after you die? Can people still post to your Wall? Do you continue to receive friend requests? Will you still get “poked”? With an estimated 5.7 million deceased Facebook users since 2003, it happens. That’s why Otrib.com created their free new Final Wishes Facebook application, so you can name an heir for your digital assets and confirm how your account should be managed upon your death and:

• Add a Life Status Indicator to your Facebook profile
• Send out a real-time death notification to all connections
• Help your next of kin save time and money by automatically creating a tribute page or interactive online obituary and transferring administration of your Facebook account to your heir
