Video South Park and Facebook -Social network Facebook will have a ' virtual cemetery ' for the deceased members

In the most similar thing to the version online of a cemetery, Facebook is already provided with a place where they will be able to find eternal rest the virtual spirits of those that have spent good part of his life in the social network. The popular social network Faceboook, to which 300 million persons belong already in the whole world, he has announced the creation of a space dedicated in memory of the users who are going on to better life. " When someone leaves us, it leaves neither our memory nor our social network " there wrote Max Kelly, safety person in charge of Facebook, in the corporate blog of the company.

" To reflect this reality we have created the idea of " commemorative profiles " as a place where the people can keep and share the memories of those that profiles have died " .Los they are deprived and, to avoid practical jokes, it is necessary to give Facebook a proof that we know really to the person and linkage that should prove his death (as obituary one published in press) if we want that our relative between in this peculiar pantheon. In parallel, Facebook promises to withdraw the personal information of the available deceased in the portal to avoid to his wanted beings the bad gulp of seeing regularly his photo or his ancient messages. The social network introduced recently a new function that he suggests to the users to help other members to increase his activity in Facebook and it have given themselves persons' cases whom one was cheering up to suggest new contacts to already dead friends.

" These commemorative accounts also prevent someone from gaining access to them in the future, but they keep on allowing that the family or the friends should leave messages of memory in his wall ", added Kelly in the blog. The social networks are a relatively new phenomenon but, obviously, some of his members are leaving this world and his number will make to rise only if it is born in mind that the life expectancy of his users increases. In Facebook, the demographic group that more grows it are not that of the adolescents or the university students but that of the women of any more than 55 years, according to a released study this summer.

In LinkedIn, a popular social network of professional contacts, the life expectancy is about 40 years. As our life online increases, the number of original ideas grows to manage our legacy in Internet when we are already not and many see in this field interesting opportunities of business. With tariffs that are about 25 dollars per year, several American companies offer the safekeeping of the keys of our universe online, that will be dedicated to our progeny only when we are absent. The most pressing thing in these cases is usually to gain access to the account of the bank in Internet but our virtual legacy it is much wider. Has he thought what will happen with all these contacts of that only we take care in the social networks and to of which nobody will be able to notify our disappearance?

Or with the hundreds of unrepeatable photos hung on pages as Flickr? There are pages as Slightly Morbid that a list of persons allow to create also to those that we wish it should be notified that we have died or simply long-suffering an accident that prevents us from gaining access to the network. Mike and Pamela Potter, a partner of Colorado, had the idea of creating this service when a friend whom only they were meeting in Internet stopped giving signs of life. The Potter gave for dead person to his contact, but it turns out that only it was taking a few long vacation in a place without access to the network.
