  • WebProDigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17This makes me wonder about some of our blog partners who haven't posted in a while...
    • kurtwoodfin, on 10/12/2007, -6/+8You should be more concerned more about the porn on your computer. It makes no difference if you are alive or dead.....nobody reads your blog anyways besides your mother!!!!!
  • markdr123, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Funnily enough, that is something I've thought about before. Sadly, I don't think many of us are going to have to worry about the type of big money blogs that guy runs.
  • MicleMihai, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0WebProDiGG - You made me laugh, but is true.
  • devindotcom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Depending on how you die, they could get really popular.
  • trauts, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11Should be the last thing to worry about, who cares about a stupid blog
    • Lord_oftheTrons, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3I agree. At least they won't be posted to digg anymore and stop contributing to blogspam.
  • modiggs1976, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Worms:your corpse
    Spammers:your blog
  • swiecki, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I have a script on my blog to automatically shut down my blog and put up a "Not here anymore" sign when I don't check my email for a month. Completely automated, and it can't be accidently activated.
    • netdroid9, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1...What happens if you switch emails and forget to update your blog?
    • Mikecol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Then his script will automatically post "Not here anymore". Didn't you read what he wrote?
    • kwilliam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hmm, that's a cool idea. Could you make a copy of the script available on your website? I'd like to use it too.
  • captinherb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is why you have life insurance. Trying to teach your wife to blog isn't the answer. This is the same problem that any self employed person, like a lawyer, doctor or CPA, would have. If your fairly young and healthy a million dollars doesn't cost that much, and if you have kids it's a must.
  • sulaco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12"It became more serious for us to talk about when we realized that our family’s main income source was blogging"

    Well there's your problem.
  • axecollector, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2http://politicsofdancing.blogspot.com/2006/12/india-now-offering-lazy-bloggers-option.html

    These guys can probably help...
  • Anrkist, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4They go unread, as they always have. No one cares about your boring life or equally boring death.
    • modiggs1976, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6One last time: not all blogs are personal.
    • 2Deluxe, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Several million losers blogging their worthless opinions - I don't think anyone's going to miss them :P.
    • modiggs1976, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Actually many blogs report news. The Kramer story was first on TMZ.
  • Prototek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7You have someone else blog your death when you die.
  • Area51mafia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't have a blog. But I have thought about how I'd notify my friends online if I were to suddenly die. I load up a page on my server every week, and if it doesn't get triggered for within a week it sends out emails to people telling them who to call to check up on me.
    • PDelahanty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4So when an ice storm or hurricane hits your town and knocks out your internet or power for a week, all your out of town friends will start to panic. Awesome.
    • ketsugi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think if an ice storm or hurricane hit his house, he WOULD want his friends to call up and check on him... or try, at least.
  • DokumentAMarble, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1I know! all of your friends still here get a post-rapture letter from here

    and you laugh at them O: )
    • cogit0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1wait... havent I seen you post that exact thing in two other diggs so far....?
      ::diggs you down::
  • remo2012, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1www.theinternetlegend.com
  • Ghostal, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1My blog will be a lot better off..

  • uberfr4gger, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1You can prepare for it all you want but why? Your going to be dead, in the ground or in heaven depending what happens in the afterlife. Why should you worry about something after your dead, whats the point? People die all the time and their online identities go with them.
    • kwilliam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0In the programming world, we call it "garbage collection". I'd like all my crummy accounts (e-mail, IM, digg.com) to die with me when I'm dead.
  • wiiboy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0and what will happens to my podcast win i die or my myspace OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY GOD WE ALL WILL DIE SOME THING OMG LATS GO LIVE LIFE NOW NOW NOW
  • whalesalad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I've wondered about this a few times, particularly after two car accidents, one of which should have killed me. No one knows my password and it would be pretty hard to crack, so I really don't know what would happen. Mediatemple would keep auto billing me... hah I don't know.
  • Portwineboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4More importantly, what happens to your pr0n?
  • frant1c, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I have an intricate logic bomb planted which will destroy not only my blog, but all blogs anywhere in the galaxy should I die. This is my legacy for humanity.
  • zugu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Orphaned blogs crave for adoption.
