Facebook - R.I.P.

I think it should be proper etiquette to wait 24 hours after a person dies to post messages to the deceased.
Sometimes people are so quick that they don't realize that not all proper notifications have been made.
I agree, completely.
And I agree as well. FB has become the new roadside memorial.

Good point, I certainly wouldn't want to find out that a loved one passed away via Facebook! People just don't think and everyone wants to be the first one with the latest gossip, pretty thoughtless actually.

Watch out who you de-friend... Facebook "defriending" led to double murder, police say - Yahoo! News

Not sure exactly what you all are referring too, but if not for Facebook we would not have found out a close friend had tragically passed away. Being on the opposite side of the country you sometimes accidentally get overlooked.

Loving,
I don't have an issue with people making notification on Facebook but I just wish people would wait 24 hours or something, so that those who were close to the deceased can be notified in a proper manner. Today we have children/young adults on Facebook and they should never have to find out that a significant person or relative died by reading it on Facebook.

Yeah, that.
:shrug:
FB= Social networking. Babies being born, graduations, what you had for lunch and, yes, passing away.

They attention-whore and profess their undying friendship and eternal love, not to mention condolences for family members. Usually the posters are people who weren't all that close to the deceased, because those who *were* close console loved ones in person, or in one-on-one written communication.

Our friends page was immediately closed down and a in memory page was opened. His wife, children, and brother asked people to post pictures and stories from over the years.
Very sad to see that his wife occassionally post to him on there that she misses him and is finding it hard to get through the day

We immediately messaged the families on Facebook when we heard, but we also mailed cards. It really is hard being on the opposite coast when something like this happens so I am glad we have Facebook.

And, of course, this never existed before FB? If anything, FB may well save the bereaved from having thusly motivated individuals from showing up at the funeral or wake. "I already sent condolences on the FB and then I saw a link for a new facial wash so, I don't need to go and then, do you know roast is on sale at the Piggly Wiggly? Anyway, I talked to Helen the other day and she says...blah, blah, blah..."

Wow! You're such a rebel!!!
Great, Now I can't do it cause your sarcasm crankblock has stalled my moral fiber...

I've seen a few people set up pages like that and you're right.......it's heartbreaking. Some people find it therapeutic to read posts about their loved ones, I guess. And then you have the dramatic people who barely knew the deceased posting about how hard it is to get through the day without them.
#### that, My girlfriend in high school was killed by satanists,, stabbed 42 times along with the boy she was babysitting... I was questioned for 3 f'n hours about it and finally they found the ####### that did it... I was left with a F'n rock to look at.. he's in prison.. There was no FB... if you want to say something to the dead, then do it the old fashioned way and pay respect in lessons learned... don't paste how sorry you are on the internet.... Damn
