Status Updates From Beyond The Grave

Thanks to a new Facebook app, you can send messages to your online friends from beyond the grave. Which isn't creepy at all!

The app, called If I Die, lets users record a video farewell or text message, then save it — hopefully for a very long time — before the moment comes that you shuffle off this vale of tears. That’s when a few Facebook friends do you a favor that will make you eternally grateful. The app requires you to designate three Facebook friends as executors of your message, and when all three of them confirm that you have in fact, died, your parting words will be displayed for all to see on your Facebook wall, at one time or on a schedule. The possibilities for your farewell message are endless, says app developer Willook, an Israel-based startup that describes itself as specializing in “'time capsule' services and products.”

There's a promotional video, of course.
