MySpace For Dead People
Monday, June 18th, 2007
Can’t you even die these days without it turning into a competition to be friended, linked to, or tweeted? The latest foray into the social networking stew is Respectance, a cross between one of the Net’s many tribute sites to the dead (many quite lovely) and a social network that hopes to capture as many (living) eyeballs as possible. Still, there’s a certain leveling factor that’s interesting in a place where a giant like Gianfranco Ferre (62, designer) and the unknown but also very loved Big Mike Castro (20, student), exist, sort of, as equals.
At first I thought this was going to be a post about MyDeathSpace.com, the site that lists information about people with myspace profiles who have died.
You’re right! The site has real potential. I really liked the fact that live people are blogging on there. Let’s see what the next few months hold for them.
I was going to link mydeathspace as well. That’s a household fave of ours.
