I’m pleased to announce the launch of DeathAndDigitalLegacy.com.
Since first starting to explore this subject more than two years ago, I’ve realized that it stretches wider than I ever could have imagined. As I delved deeper, questions surrounding law, security, privacy, bereavement, preservation, development, and even immortality came to the forefront.
Speaking at PodCamp Montreal last September proved to me that digital legacy issues can be a revelation to people when they stop to consider it. That session really ramped up interest in this topic and led to interviews with the New York Times and others, additional speaking opportunities, and people stepping forward to share their stories with me about death, the digital world and its personal impact on them.
I plan on continuing to research, write and speak about this important topic. But, I am sensitive to the fact that people who come to this blog looking for marketing and technology related posts may not always appreciate hearing about death or the issues surrounding it. It’s not a subject for all moods or all people.
So, if you have an interest in digital legacy, digital afterlife, digital immortality or related issues, and wonder about what you need to consider for the future, I welcome your perspective at DeathAndDigitalLegacy.com. To get you started, there are two new posts over there:
What is a Digital Executor?
HOW TO: Use Gmail For Digital Executor Instructions and Access
And now we’ll return to our regularly scheduled programming.
