Passing On Your Cloud Pt. 2

Friend and reader Gagan writes (posting here in an attempt to convince him to guest blog in the future):

Heard an interview on NPR this afternoon with the guy who created Legacy Locker.  Basically, he was trying to secure the on-line identity of his deceased grandmother, but it was essentially impossible.  Which begs the question: what happens to your on-line identity once you die?

So this guy developed a small business where they basically keep all of your on-line information (log-ins, passwords, etc.), and your instructions for how to deal with your on-line identity once you’re gone (give it to a specific person/specific people, destroy it, etc.).  According to the interview, they currently have 1,000 customers, and they’ve only been operating for about a month.  I could see this thing taking off.

More on CNET and TechCrunch.

Jarred pondered many of the issues Legacy Locker aims to resolve in his post Passing On Your Cloud.
