The ABC has the unfortunate news that a Canberra man, Peter Ingham, is behind the self styled “Facebook for the dead” frombeyond2u.com:
- Peter Ingham and fellow entrepreneur Andrew Slattery have created a website being dubbed ‘Facebook for the dead’, which allows the living to upload videos, photographs and important messages, which will then be sent out after they die.
The site, FromBeyond2u.com, allows the living to upload videos, photographs and important messages, as part of a virtual “time capsule”.
It’s a pretty limited niche of people who know they’re going to die soon, can’t manage to say what they’ve got to say to whom they want to say it to, and want to go posting pictures and videos online.
One has to wonder how many uplifting messages they’ll get compared to, well, the other sort.
