There are three things to do before you die: plant a child, write a tree, and have a book. Now you can add a fourth: leave a virtual testament with DeadSocial, the service that sends your social media messages after you're gone. Even dead, we'll keep posting nonsense!
Dying is not what it used to be. In these times of furious interconnectivity, everything goes through social networks or it's as if it never existed. And if we make photos, videos, and comments of every occasion, how not to celebrate our death in the same way—the most important event of our lives after being born? That's what DeadSocial offers, a site whose literal translation to Spanish should rewrite everything we know about being deceased.
It turns out DeadSocial truly allows you to be a social dead person. It does this by letting you schedule (WHILE ALIVE) a series of posts to be sent on different stipulated dates, as long as your death has been confirmed. The messages can contain the usual things (text, video, and photos). The service will send these posts to any of the three compatible social sites (Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram) and it will do it all while you're eating worms and not knowing anything.
For the service to activate, you'll need to choose one or more 'executors of the will'—people close to you who will be in charge of confirming to DeadSocial that you no longer exist in this world. Confirming the end of your days is simple: your executor must log in to DeadSocial, tick a box, and click Accept.
The testament service had a very satisfactory first version, which ended recently. It's currently on an evolutionary pause. It promises to return in May 2017 and activate another 10,000 free accounts.
So, if you're intrigued by the idea of being a zombie 2.0, go and leave your email. I can think of a few fun pranks to play on some people. I would literally die laughing. Even more... I wish I could die right now to see their faces when they start receiving my posthumous messages! MUAHAHA.
