It's a question that residents of cyberspace are slowly starting to wrap their mind around. What happens to your social sites when you die?
One new startup company, MyWebWill.com, has come up with part of the answer. According to VentureBeat, they're giving people a way to send one last tweet to Twitter and one last update to Facebook after you die. And the service helps arrange for someone to take over your pages and provides them with some guidance as to what to do with those pages.

t's not an idea that comes readily to the Facebook generation, but managing the profiles and blog posts left behind upon death may become a growing necessity. A Swedish startup called MyWebWill is trying to address the problem by storing passwords and people's wishes, so that their online identities can be shut down or handed over to friends and family when they pass away.IN some ways, services like this reflect that fact that the social web is maturing.
