    Meh whatever floats peoples boat regarding facebook profiles of those who have died - no worse than a book of condolence! plus I generally find people who bitch and moan about what other people post about their lives on facebook/twitter/blogs to be ever more annoying.

    And all of those other ways involve seeking attention. We seek attention from each other all the time; we are social creatures and that is what we do.

    If you actually tried facebook, and added likeable and interesting people who are not actually toddlers or drama queens, you might find it - quite rationally - a handy multi-modal platform for being sociable.

    I was thinking along the lines of Skype and e-mail, not another social media platform. But your point is valid and has been duly noted, maybe I know to many chavs

    Life, earth, technology and the universe is full of cretins of cretins too, attention seekers of the Highest Order!

    Even cretins are full of cretins, its a fuk1n vicious cycle...

    A girl I know posts from her deceased brothers account I.e. She uses his account as her own.

    So you get a notification saying: *John Murphy has commented on your photo.
    Then when you go view it says something like "Looks fab! Mary x"

    I find it odd. But she apparently finds it comforting. So be it.

    *not real names
