A friend indeed …
If you died tomorrow, I wonder how many of your Facebook ‘friends’ would attend your funeral?

Point well made! I often make imaginary quotation signs with my fingers when talking about “friends” I’ve made on-line. It’s truly a misnomer. I bet upon hearing of my untimely death, many of my on-line “friends” would say, “Bummer. That guy had a lot of great posts.” Of course, they may just say, “Bummer…” and leave off the part about my posts!

Mark – thanks for taking my ‘comment cherry’ as it were!
I can see the seed of a new application here … Facebook Funerals!

And how would you update your status to let them know you’d left this mortal coil?

Via a Facebook branded ‘vital signs’, wi-fi-enabled wrist band … it could also change your status to stuff like: Richard is …
- having a stroke (please call 999)
- experiencing high blood pressure (don’t call him with bad news right now!)
- dead! (… this would kick off the Facebook auto-funeral application to set up a ‘Richard’s funeral’ group and alert your frineds to the date for the event …)
… the possibilities are endless
