Myspace for Senior Citizens Alerts Your Friends When You Die... Creepy
Topic: Technology

Thanks to the epic popularity of Myspace.com, Monster.com founder Jeff Taylor has launched Eons.com, a Myspace of sorts for the 50+ crowd, which tracks your friends and even alerts you when they've died.

"Many people no longer live where they grew up so the idea of a rich story about someone's life in a local newspaper is often lost," said Taylor.

This lesson in creepyness should earn Taylor some fame as a Grim Reaper of the Internet, and might also be interesting to watch to see how Eons.com takes off or ends up in its own grave.  We wonder who will receive an email if that happens.
