Aug 9 2011: I always wonder about it and I personally feel that every web service should have a special section especially for sharing of information after the user dies.
Every web service should ask a set of questions which will decide which information can be passed on to whom when the user dies.
The set of questions vary depending upon the kind of web service like Facebook will have a different set of questions when compared to Gmail and Twitter.
I think its the time for every web service to initiate this process. I would love to see this happening.
