Obituaries Online
Mike Landberg writes at SilliconValley.com Online: where obituaries go to be interactive.

Eons.com, a Web site Taylor [who founded Monster.com] launched Monday, is intended as a social-networking destination for people over age 50 — think of MySpace with gray hair.
The most interesting feature of Eons is a national database of obituaries, still under development, where users are invited to create online tributes.
If you ‘re someone who starts your day with a cup of coffee and the question “I wonder who died recently?” you’ll be excited to learn this:
There’s even a free tool called Obit Alerts where you can request e-mail notification whenever someone dies whose obituary matches a keyword you select, such as a last name, a town, a university or a military unit.
This is progress?
