So there is life after death......... on Facebook
 

the 'If I Die' app

New Facebook app allows for life after death

From allowing users to post photos, share links, browse interests and, more recently, track news, Facebook pretty much has it all when it comes to being the tip-top contender for social media.

However, how would you like to preserve your life ? on Facebook? A new Facebook application called "If I Die" allows you to continue your presence on the social media site even after you die.

The app, developed in Israel, requires you to choose three "friends" to confirm your death, and from there, you can continue to preserve your life on Facebook.

According to the technology website Mashable.com, co-founder of the application Eran Alfonta said, "We all have things to say and don't necessarily have the audience with the patience to hear us. Actually we all want to leave something behind, we all want to leave a stamp behind us."

"If I Die" allows users to do just that.

Users are able to create any number of Facebook posts and messages and can even poke their friends on a schedule that will be published posthumously.

After a person's three "friends" confirm that he or she has died, the app begins to disperse the actions specified by the initial user.

This guarantees that loved ones receive the messages left behind by the deceased.

"I think it's a great way to say goodbye to people, especially since life can be so unexpected.

This is a sure way to know that you can tell certain people the things you maybe never get the chance to say before you die," junior Ally Saltz said.

Alfonta anticipates that the application will have over 100,000 users within the next couple of months.

Even he has started to create a timeline to send messages to his loved ones after he passes.

Perhaps it will become the new way many record their farewells before they pass.

Seems like a great way to hurt people that you love.

Nobody wants to be forgotten, but people need to let others go in order to move forward.

i would be very insulted if my family put me on facebook when i die.

The entire page for quiet has been turned into a memorial and I think it's sweet. I have no other contact with anyone he knows, they don't post on GFY and from time to time I'll hit his page just to see who's been by to leave their thoughts.

For those that only knew him here, quiet was an honest to goodness awesome motherfucker. For the record.

that's not what the app does, YOU are in control of what gets posted on your facebook page after you die and you do it BEFORE you die - once your death is confirmed by 3 threads the app takes control of your page.

but what about hurting the people you hate if you do have reason to hate some people?

All it takes is all three of your friends to be drunk and bored at the same time for them to murder you on the internet just to see what you would say when you're dead.

I like it.

"Fuck you all!"

Sounds fun :upsidedow

Has Tawnee Stone got this app?

Facebook won't have a life after its death.

ROFL! :1orglaugh :thumbsup

facebook is for losers

That's fucked up. No thanks.

Creepy stuff. I would have it send messages like "I am watching you . . ."

There needs to be another feature where if three friends confirm their death the user gets a message and has 72 hours to dispute the claim. If the user doesn't click the I'm not dead button in three days then it does its thing.

Or just make one of the three somebody that wouldn't do that, like a sibling.

If you can't trust at least one person to not make a joke of you dying when they get drunk you need better friends anyway.

I think Facebook has finally run its course.

Oh dear facebook.....

No, not yet, we need a FB app that determines which friend gets our assets.
