Your Digital Legacy

Ever wonder what will happen to your information on Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter after you die? A website called The Digital Beyond addresses this question and others, looking at policies of various social media sites. Read the story and listen to the interview of the editors by National Public Radio. A lengthy piece on this topic also recently appeared in The New York Times Magazine entitled Cyberspace When You're Dead.


In related news, Oklahoma passed legislation granting estate executors control over a deceased's social media accounts. ABA Journal notes that the legislation conflicts with most social media user agreements.
