I was looking at su's blog earlier, and reading what she had to say about how quickly we make friends on the net. This reminded me of something I saw in the press a few months ago but forgot to make a note of.

One of the things that bothers me about net friendships is losing contact with people. I have friends on the net whose real names are not known to me, never mind their addresses. Similarly, a lot of them don't know my real name. If anything happens to me they may never know about it, only that I've disappeared.

I know there is at least one company that offers some kind of service to mail a list of people in that event. Anyone know of this?

Nope.

I seem to remember reading about it. Spooky emails from beyond the grave.

There was one that worked on a the basis that you checked in on the site every now and then or it declared you dead to your friends.
Posted by Sul, 14:02, 28th May 2004:

My copy of GrimForum holds a post to become visable if I don't log in for 2 months.

why does Brock no longer show up in the box of members online in the last 60 minutes?
i've noticed this over the last few days
is he using some cloaking device?
Posted by Grim..., 14:41, 28th May 2004:
 
Has he unticked 'Hide Online Status', perhaps?

D'uh

Posted by WarHead, 14:53, 28th May 2004:
 
It'll suit you too.

I think I'll just have to have a file with a list of addresses to notifiy on my PC somewhere, and hope that someone spots it when I pop me clogs. I wonder what Mrs WH (should she outlast me) will think about all these women with whom I've been corresponding.

Just as well there's the odd bloke in there as well.
Posted by Alfie, 14:54, 28th May 2004:
 
who is the odd bloke?
Posted by WarHead, 14:55, 28th May 2004:
 
Dale Winton.

Do you want his address?

Posted by su, 16:15, 28th May 2004:
