Where does your Facebook go

Facebook has taken on a whole new significance and meaning to a lot of people since its initial growth spurt. Since it's creation, Facebook has become an extension of the people who use them and when the people who use them die... it becomes a well fitting memorial allowing friends and the people who knew them to leave messages mourning the loss of the the individual. Although it might seem a bit 'shallow' and 'pointless' but in todays world, The Facebook is another guest book at an online memorial.

Following the second death of a student at my the University this year, friends (and not necessarily close friends but people this individual had known through the Facebook network) paid a tribute to them on their profile.
