There is now an OldSpace, so to speak: http://www.eons.com/
You have to be 50 to join. The guy that owns it is 45.
They should probably dump the prominent obituary feature or make it a tad more discreet. Hey everyone it’s Carousel time! Sign up here for the Thursday Night Totentanz Party at Mori’s!!

I really don’t see why 50 year olds in their prime would be any more interested in obituaries and living wills than 40 year olds would. The site is very stupid.

Maaaan, what about those of us in the wide chasm between MySpace’s demographic and Eons’?
Oh yeeeah, we did that already with Friendster. Shucks.

I’m guessing you saw the Reuter’s article about this? http://tinyurl.com/mzylf, “Welcome… You’ve Got Death…” I guess it’s a way of telling us older people, “Hey, you don’t belong in Myspace,” or something. I suppose some of the older folks wouldn’t be comefortable being there anyhow.

I saw it on a tech site, techcrunch or something.
I think it’s weird that everyone over 50 is lumped together. People 50-65 are in their prime usually and active in their careers. The idea that someone under 65 who isn’t terminally ill would be interested in a funeral at all is pretty stupid.
