Many people with accounts at twitter, facebook or any other social networking sites have started to think seriously about the fate of these, once we return and no longer without direct followers to another world. The concerns are very simple: does not necessarily imply physical death our death online?, Can a person “in an act of last will, to commission a third party to manage their accounts and still so rampant in the network as if nothing had happened ?.

There is a minor issue.

There are at least two possibilities for action in these cases: i) die we die as we around the world and by assumption that every vestige of life we must immediately disappear from the face of the earth, including, of course, our profiles online, and ii) does not give up and instead we drew up guidelines for a living, breathing agent assumes the role of maintaining the accounts, with express instructions not to leave not a shred of our own rules of conduct … a clone online, then.

If the latter were the case, the decision may have some ethical, moral and even legal if it is not clear in advance that the account is no longer being served by the dead, but live by the flesh. If maliciously kept secret the death of the account holder for the purpose of showing that it is he who is twittering, no doubt that instead of one, will be two of the dead. The blessed clone end sooner or later discovered and beaten mercilessly by the legion of fans mocked, who will not endure have been interacting with a stranger, believing that they did with him whom were and lies and two meters underground.

In all this the twitterer pondered and said:

- Do not, no joke!. In my capacity as a lawyer drew up the will right now.

Immediately set to work. Went to the studio and promptly drafted what was been called: The Top 5 terms of the will of twitterer, which were theirs but it certainly can serve any twitterer have in their plans to die someday. ! You never know!

Here they are.

Who subscribes, JRF, adult, in my capacity as twitterer, mentally working to my knowledge, I will say is about the twitter and facebook accounts that at my death they remain active, for which the new administrator strictly follow the 5 rules listed below:

1. Accounts. Understood by those of my accounts on social networking: facebook and twitter. Never the bank account, fly it!. The rule here is very simple and I have learned in more than one tweet read somewhere: to be admitted to the facebook and twitter friends are still those who hope to be. My principles are simple: do not write party policy, be helpful to others, do not answer anyone’s sins and encourage friends. The password is the same for both accounts: xxxxxxxxxxxxx and it is my will that the people administering the bookseller. Why him. Well, it’s a gesture of gratitude for the many books that I got carried away and no return jointly of the public library, getting the msg.

2. The content of the tweet. By following the principles of clause one, everything will be fine. For the love of God, never to post about the festival hat the Queen, Tiger Wood’s divorce, or the ninth marriage of Elizabeth Taylor. Let these poor people alone that are already heavily. Technology, IP and literature are my favorite subjects to talk about them often keep the profile. But, careful, not everything that is published literature, although it has ever sold in the bookshop Marks & Co., of 84, Charing Cross Road.

3. From my followers. They have to pamper them, serve them, greet them, answer daily RTs and give them # FF. Message boards must not generate sterile discussions, and irreverent show a twitter profile that makes them run away and give to the account unfollow number without mercy. Be humble. Do not forget a single minute of Umberto Eco’s statement: “Nothing will stop the vanity.”

4. Who follow. Follow those who follow him, but never offered to sellers who earn $ 5,000 for travel tweets or Champs Elysees in the carriage of Cinderella, at twelve o’clock. Of these people stand back and look for more people sympathetic to their interests not Farandulera …. Ricky Martin already said that in his own right had to say and Angelina is not anorexic. Do not get sick from lack of attention of the gurus of twitter, and if after thirty years of following them, finally get them a DM, a mention or a follow, for heaven’s sake, do not start to shout as @ loc, take more of a warm cup of tea Siberian and count to one hundred before you start giving a pod.

5. Twitterer Manas. Finally, do not forget it for the world: Tweet preferably in the morning and at night, rarely from work and never when you are on your honeymoon. The morning and evening traffic are more tweets, working hours, unless you pay for twitter, are of the firm, and the honeymoon instead of twitter do otherwise is often even more fun, unless the marriage is not really a honey.

A year later. In the sky.

-San Pedro!

“If my son

“I need to return to earth even for a moment.

“For what, son?

- To send pans of hell bastard who manages the bookstore now my # redessociales accounts, for committing the heinous crime of damnatio memoriae.

“And what is that?

“I wiped out and threw me into oblivion postmortem.

-How?

- Changed my avatar and put in place a picture of pink floyd in concert Rockparadise London, was given the grim task of half a world message boards with invitations to a festival ghosts wet cloths and various perversions, stopped to greet friends and never gave anyone a # FF. Also placed a huge and colorful “Like” in the pages of Playboy, videos and old rose nude photos of Pamela Anderson and offered no shame ladies desperate to marry them multiple marriages on the island of Spanish. In nine months the only tweet bastard who posted the above on “literature” was a reference to the book “how to destroy the reputation of a twitterer and not die trying”

“My son, however I have received here at the Sky News people of your people who realize that the bookseller’s ignoble motives were revenge.

“How so?

“Yes, my son. He would have sworn by the mother that bore him to take revenge on you sooner or later. You poor twitterer distracted, ten years ago you took from the library without realizing it, a pile of used books, autographed copy of the Kamasutra.

Plop!
