online-identity

After reading this question I remembered of a news article about some websites that manage your online identity after you pass away.

Have you planned what to do with your digital assets once you go? I'd imagine that your online footprint is as important as anything you leave of material value.

I mean, what would be the difference of that open-source project that you created to the money and savings that you had?

How would you like to have your identity managed after you pass away? Would you prefer to go "off the grid"?

It's a sensitive topic and I never met anyone who prepared for it.
