Just seen a girl from my area has been murdered in Govan. Announced on Tayside Police FB page, and it's brought out the absolute lunatics saying RIP, family must be devastated etc when they aren't even from Dundee or Glasgow and they don't know her at all.
Why would you comment on such a thing if it didn't concern you in the slightest? Weirdo grief junkie cunts.
'When's that Eddie Redmere (Redmayne) film out?'
'You've asked me that three times today. Why don't you find out?'
'Well I don't know.'
Another cry for help. Sort yourself out, Lewis.
You could've googled it for her instead of posting about it on here.Originally Posted by Lewis

Jimmy should get Lewis a job at his North Korean labour camp
Fucking hell she was monstrously fit!
For the sinister perverts (definitely not Manc):

Still active Facebook profiles of the recently deceased really creep me out.
She lived with her sister (not in Govan) and worked for PO Ferries.
This looks like a date rape murder to me especially when you streetview Minto Road. Its a fucking hole.
My friend is still 'Friends' with somebody who did themselves in four years ago.
Woof.
I suppose there's still no way for Facebook to get rid of them.
It'll be a serious problem in 50 years time for my generation. One's friend list will be absolutely heaving with dead people.
There must be someone at Facebook HQ thinking about this.
Can you not request if you're a family member for it to be deleted? Why would you though, it's something to look back on.
I suppose - maybe it just isn't an issue.
Google have an inactive account manager thing where you can nominate someone who will receive access to your account if you don't log in for 3 months. Facebook could do with something similar.
I've got a 'friend' on there who topped himself 5 years ago. He's a bloke I went to school with. He still gets messages on his birthday and on the anniversary of him dying from friends and things.
Someone's beaten me to it...

428 users die an hour, with not much happening to the accounts after they do, meaning that they'll be more dead members than living ones by 2065.
A repository for dead people probably isn't going to do a great deal for the share price. It's a definite problem.
I was dicking around in the settings of facebook the other day and found they do have a will thing, you can set the person you want to control your account if you died. There is also the option to have it deleted.
Ah that must be new, handy. Just set it up there to delete.
How does Facebook know you've died?
Your 'Friends' start Googling funeral stuff and it picks up on it.
Leaving someone your Facebook account in a will.
Somebody do that and don't answer your phone for a couple of days.
I often wondered if there'd be a policy on steam or iTunes for that sort of thing.
They need to be notified. Though I decided after to leave control of it to the Mrs (I've all my passwords saved in a file she'll get on the Google thing) and tell her to delete it.How does Facebook know you've died?
It'll be weird on here because presumably nobody that you know knows about this place. I definitely wouldn't want anyone knowing about it if I died.
I bet a few ex-members are dead and we just don't know.
I do that little else that if I'm not here for a fortnight you'll know I've popped.
There are companies that put together death-washing lists (amongst other things) that get applied to marketing databases; it wouldn't surprise me if the same thing occurred with social media profiles to manage the cost of data storage.
Which is an oddly functional answer to a speculative question.
.....
My little brother would probably post something here if I died, I reckon.
That was an episode of Black Mirror.

It's great.

I think you're making the incorrect assumption that in 50 years time Facebook will be relevant or even existent. It probably won't.
It has over 1.5 billion users, it's not going anywhere for a while.
There are mediums that looked ubiquitous and unkillable just 10 or 15 years ago that are gone now, the fax machine went from conception to obsolescence in less than 50 years. Facebook will do well to be relevant in 10 years let alone 50.
Yes but nobody used fucking fax to indulge their narcissistic personalities or look at colleague's tits whilst their on holiday.
£100 Facebook will still be relevant (let's define that as 1 billion users or more) in 2026?
How many of them can be dead?
As a company or as a product?
By the way, there won't be a mass deletion of accounts, so even if everyone's left facebook by then there'll still be a billion users.
And don't get me wrong, I don't even like it that much, but it's absolutely brilliant at what it does and has always been ahead of the curve as far as the internet goes.
I get where you're coming from in terms of things not lasting forever (as I'm usually on that side of the argument), but 50 years is a relatively short space of time and not long enough for someone to fuck it up from where it is now.
Facebook always talk about users in terms of active users (x visits a week), so we'll go with that which will cut out the dead and dormant 'users'.
Facebook has no use for me now. I have all my close friends in a single WhatsApp group and I obviously I just text and call them individually if it's a private conversation I want. Facebook would be more interesting to me if my friends didn't have such boring lives but they do, and if anything exciting happens they'd tell me anyway. I still reckon I'd be back on within the week if I killed my account now though. Probably just habit.
50 years ago (1966) my dad found out that we'd won the World Cup by reading it in a French newspaper three days later. I reckon things might have changed by then (and Leicester may not be top of the league either).
Well the 20th century was absolutely ridiculous for technological progression.
Steady on, mate.
Facebook as a company will obviously still be around in 50 years and (probably) just as important as it is today. The Facebook product will be irrelevant for technological reasons.
What reasons are these then? And why won't the current product evolve with, or be leading them?
