Facebook To Preserve Accounts of the Dead
Barence writes "Social-networking site Facebook is planning to preserve the accounts of dead members. The new 'memorialized' accounts will continue to display photos and wall posts, but remove 'sensitive information' such as status updates and contact information. Friends or family who want to report the death of a Facebook member are encouraged to fill out the site's Deceased form. The form asks for proof of death, such as an obituary or news article, although it's not clear how Facebook can validate the death of a member if neither of those pieces of information is published on the internet. How long before someone snuffs it on Facebook before their time?"
1) wait until freind you want to prank is on vacation without the ability to contact Facebook. (Hiking, Rainforest excursion, on a Cruise with no internet, etc.)
2) Fill out Facebook deceased form and submit Photoshopped Death Certificate.
3) ???
4) Hide when your friend comes back from vacation and finds him/herself "dead".
