Dead People on Facebook →
Randle Munroe of XKCD attempts to predict whe there will be more dead people on Facebook than living ones. His two scenarios follow either a Facebook that falls out of popularity soon, or one that lasts at least 100 years. His quote below makes me think it's the first case:
The ground is littered with the bones of websites and technologies that seemed like permanent institutions ten years ago.
He also estimates there are 10 to 20 million profiles currently of dead people, which is hard to fathom but probably accurate.
