After your final status update: Adam Ostrow on TED.com

Many of us have a social media presence — a virtual personality made up of status updates, tweets and connections, stored in the cloud. Adam Ostrow asks a big question: What happens to that personality after you’ve died? Could it … live on? (Recorded at TEDGlobal 2011, July 2011, in Edinburgh, Scotland. Duration: 5:30.)

Watch Adam Ostrow’s talk on TED.com, where you can download it, rate it, comment on it and find other talks and performances from our archive of 900+ TEDTalks.

    Well, I guess I’d better start thinking about what I want to say in my posthumous blog posts!

    to think about it, nobody (young people) never thinks in die. Also, those stats about YouTube, Facebook, so on are amazing… 48 hours per minute? wow can’t believe

    Anyway, thanks for video. Regards
