MySpace’s afterlife. The dark side of MySpace
Just recently, I talked about a social networking site that is used to remember those who have passed away. And today, I stumbled upon another similar site used to archive MySpace profiles of individuals who have died. MyDeathSpace “is an archival site, containing news articles, online obituaries, and other publicly available information…[and] to pay your respects and tributes to the recently deceased MySpace.com members via [their] comment system.”
Is it just me or has social networking taken a sudden turn to the dark side? Sure does look like it!
For some reason this site gives me 404 messages, but its a good idea to keep a lookout…who knows what it will become! I can see it now: business advertising funeral services, online flower companies getting involved, and even churches offering their services too!
Lots of potential!

I suppose I can see the business potential, but it all seems a little morbid, to me.
