No One Here Gets Out Alive

November 11, 2005 | In general |

A cousin passed away last week. She was an Olympic skater. She was only 41. May she rest in peace.

A thought occurred to me: What happens to your online presence when you die?
How would want your heirs deal with your digital legacy?
What type of information and instructions would you need to leave?

Tough questions that need answers.
