What happens to our online personality after we die? Could it...live on?" Should it live on?
In my opinion, I believe the outcome to personal identities should be left up to the person who created/evolved the identity. After we die, if there are any instructions left for the identity, they should be followed. But if not, I think they should be terminated after a few months. It's not healthy to keep an online identity "living" once the person has already passed. I think that if there were instructions left for the family, they could be in charge. But, if there wasn't, the family should not get to be in charge because it is not their identity and not their property.
From reading the online articles, and being introduced to websites for the dead, made me uneasy. I don't think it is appropriate for others to make websites and other social networks solely for those who have passed. If I were to die, I would not appreciate others being on my profile, and seeing my "tweets" or blog posts after I have passed. I believe these sites open society up to something we should not be the deciders of.
