Do you wonder about your final status update? The Facebook death app

This is a bit grim for a Monday morning, but do you ever wonder what happens to your Facebook profile if you suddenly die? Well as you probably guessed, there’s an app for that.

If I die is the first Facebook application that enables you to create a video or a text message that will be published after you die. Will anyone actually use this?

If I Die simply allows you to write your goodbyes, load them into the app and then appoint a friend as the executor or trustee of your social media estate. They hit the publish button and watch the tributes roll in. At least we hope they’re tributes. It’s neat if slightly morbid.

The video suggests you might like to leave a final “favorite joke” or even settle any old scores, but that seems a poor use of your final words.
