Now 'last words' on Facebook

London: Social network
Facebook has launched a new application through which a user can
post one last message on his "wall" after his death. But there is
a catch -- three "trustees" have to confirm the person is actually
dead.
The free application is called "If I Die", the Daily Mail
reported.
It, however, has no option to automatically post a person's "last
words". A user has to appoint three trustees from the friends
list, who will be messaged when the user dies.
Only when the three friends confirm the death, will the final
message be posted.
The application has been made by an Israeli startup company.
Facebook already offers a "memorial" service. Once it is confirmed
someone has died, a memorial page is created, which only friends
can see.
