I don't know anyone who would be able to take over even the simplest of tasks, much less the massive online game I've been working on for years...

I am slightly prepared having a single program holding all my passwords just need to write down the password for the program lol.<br><br>Definatly has been making me think at work about how much more prepared i need to be and might just have to seriously sit down and think tonight :) Well you definatly made my new years come back down to earth with this…. I am slightly prepared having a single program holding all my passwords just need to write down the password for the program lol.

Definatly has been making me think at work about how much more prepared i need to be and might just have to seriously sit down and think tonight :)

How did you come across this article, if I may ask?<br><br>The company I'd love to form to solve this problem goes beyond the scope of an application or a website - but I think it holds real potential. There is clearly a need for content publishers to have some peace of mind, without having to worry about whether or not the people they leave their last wishes can figure out how to work Wordpress or Moveable Type or whatever.<br><br>I'm actually really very interested in this idea. I don't have a lot of VC contacts (that I know of), but I feel lke this is an opportunity that could be huge - with potential to continue oi grow as the new generation of content creators devote their lives to what can be boiled down to a series of ones and zeros :) Hi Linda :) Thanks very much for the kind words!

The company I'd love to form to solve this problem goes beyond the scope of an application or a website – but I think it holds real potential. There is clearly a need for content publishers to have some peace of mind, without having to worry about whether or not the people they leave their last wishes can figure out how to work WordPress or Moveable Type or whatever.

I'm actually really very interested in this idea. I don't have a lot of VC contacts (that I know of), but I feel lke this is an opportunity that could be huge – with potential to continue oi grow as the new generation of content creators devote their lives to what can be boiled down to a series of ones and zeros :)

A topic I avoid actively thinking about, but it has occurred to me from time to time. I definitely think it is something to cover in a will or last wishes statement. Having to deal with online accounts and content are just as much work for family and loved ones as going through your physical belongings. I am in the process of putting all my passwords into a KeePass account. But I don't have a plan in place for this eventuality, and I definitely should. It is something I am going to work on for this year and also to mention to my dad, who may have thought about it, and doesn't have nearly the online content that I do, but will want to make a plan for it nonetheless.<br><br>I'd be interested to know if you find, or get an offer to develop, a one-stop solution for this!
