Hi
This is really interesting and necessary to discuss. I am currently doing some research for an article about “what to do with with online information and profiles” after life. I would very much like to talk to anyone who like Anne Louise Bannon has experiences (sadly) with friends and family passing away and problems with getting access to their data. Or someone who created a digital will.
If anyone is interested in sharing their story and make Danish newspaper readers consider these issues, please write me.

This is an interesting concept. There are so many usernames, email clients, social networking sites – there’s no way to keep track of everything your parents or significant others are up to!

That’s what is great about GoEverywhere though. A user can store their important documents, files, and all of their username/passwords under one login ID on their online personal webtop. This way it’s accessible from anywhere. This may be a much more inexpensive option than Legacy Locker.

Actually, I was just thinking about putting together a similar service when a friend of mine passed away last month – and he was not even 40 yet. We had a heck of a time notifying his wide range of friends and a couple got missed simply because we had no contact info for them.

With more and more single folk out there, a service like this would be a godsend for friends and family alike.

As for losing Twitter – one of the ways we knew there was a problem is that my friend had suddenly stopped tweeting.

I would have dismissed this as targeting too small a customer base to succeed, but I recently saw an episode of the Jeopardy game show where one contestant’s occupation was listed as “Retired Computer Programmer.”

Retired from programming? Man, I’m gettin’ old.

So maybe Legacy Locker isn’t as tightly targeted as I thought. I wish ‘em luck.

I love the idea. But in today’s economy, what’s the life expectancy of a startup? How many customers will outlive Legacy Locker?
