That is a really complicated question, but we'll talk about social networks, cloud computing and our binary life...
Imagine by yourself any situation, there are a million of different scenarios. Let's start showing a few examples:
What about your facebook/twitter account?
Maybe you have already had to face this sad situation: you've seen a lot of comments on the wall of a person or friend who has died. Really, it could be something you don't want to you...
What about the e-books, music or movies you bought in Amazon, iTunes, etc?
Maybe you'd like to give them to someone, after all you bought them...
What about the files you have stored in dropbox, iCloud, skydrive or even in your computer?
You don't want to share such information, it could affect other people..
What about your smart phone?
All your accounts are synchronized... so that someone could continue reading your emails, posting comments and other things...
So, how to deal with all these questions? It's simple, afteridie.org
You can schedule an e-mail that will be sent when you die.

But... I don't understand, how it works?
It's quite easy: you have to create an account, choose a mail recipient, write a testament and wait...
Regularly, you have to log in the site to let them know that you're still alive. If you don't log in, they will send you some notification mails and, if after a while there is no answer, they will know you are dead. But the most interesting is that you can synchronize the account with twitter or facebook to avoid re-visit the site.
Yes, we know, why all this extra trouble if in fact we'll be dead? Well, that it's your final decision, just be aware the tools are ready...
