Alex Lifschitz, of Los Angeles tweets from his on-campus apartment at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Henrietta, N.Y. on Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2009. Lifschitz, in his third year at the Rochester Institute of Technology uses Twitter as a tight-knit circle, keeping his contacts more limited than on Facebook. Using his cell phone or laptop, he tweets to let professors know he can't make it to class or to ask questions about assignments. He also uses it for something as basic as organizing a food run with friends on campus. "I can simply tweet and ask who wants to go somewhere with me, and I'll have a few takers at any given time," he says. (AP Photo/Don Heupel)

La red social Facebook anunció que dará a familiares y amigos la opción de homenajear la memoria de los usuarios fallecidos por medio de perfiles conmemorativos. Si un miembro de la red es reportado como muerto, Facebook eliminará de su perfil información como su estatus, actualizaciones y contactos.
Silvia Veliz
Muy de acuerdo con ustedes, pero a la vez me gustaria que se le pueda rendir un homenaje a algun familiar directo de un usuario de facebook, yo tengo mi hermana con su esposo y mi sobrino que partieron de este mundo por causa de un lamentable accidente automovilistico por culpa de dos inresponsables borrachos. Bueno ojala tomen en cuenta tambien a los familiares de facebook, les agradesco su atencion.
Atentamente,
Silvia Veliz

Me parece una idea maravillosa, lamentablemente este año perdi a dos amigos cercanos y es increible como facebook se convirtio en una poderosa herramienta para despedirse y tratar de seguir en contacto de alguna forma con ellos, incluso los propios padres les escriben y se dan cuenta de todo el cariño que les tienen sus amigos.

HOLA; CLARO QUE SI ME PARECE BUENA IDEA YA QUE NUESTROS SERES QUERIDOS !YA FALLECIDOS! SIEMPRE PERDURAN EN NUESTRO CORAZON Y ME PARECE BUENA IDEA QUE SE LES ESTE RECORDANDO POR ESTE MEDIO. PERO POR FAVOR NO LO HAGAN TAN COMPLICADO SOLICITANDO COMPROBANTES DE DEFUNCION ETC. Y NO SE QUE MÁS, ESPERO QUE SEA ALGO SIMPLE SENCILLO Y BONITO.
GRACIAS, ATTE.

Me preocupa el hecho de que los seres queridos fallecidos no tengan procesadores para enterarse del homenaje postumo que se le hara mediante la publicacion de su obituario en "FACEBOOK".
norberto guevara
