Facebook, the world’s biggest social network, knows a lot about its roughly 500 million members. Its software is quick to offer helpful nudges about things like imminent birthdays and friends you have not contacted in a while. But the company has had trouble automating the task of figuring out when one of its users has died.

That was an interesting read, Black Cat. I can see it might be difficult to verify who has died and who someone is maybe trying to delete out of spite or something. It is weird, though, t get those reminders.

Mojo, Gary, mojo.

Sorry Gary. I still get junk mail for my Mom, years later.

:( That sucks. Another reason I'm glad I killed FB after 1 week. Never again.

Reminds me of LinkedIn's habit of congratulating people on being newly unemployed.thwap0
