If I Die: A Facebook App to Convey Your Last Wish


Bangalore: Facebook is all set to give you social media immortality. A Facebook App named ‘If I Die’ helps you leave you last wish or word to your loved ones after your death. This app makes your social self alive, it sends and post messages on your friends’ wall years after you are gone.  

If I Die app just has three steps; install the app to your Facebook account, create a video or text message, and choose three trustees from your friends to confirm your death.  When the trustees confirm your death the app publishes all the messages and videos all at once to your Facebook wall or is released on a designated schedule as the app also provides a choice of delivery mechanism.

The idea seems to be a bit crazy and scary, but it has its some positives too. According to Eran Alfonta, app’s co-founder and CEO, Wilook (Israel-based Company behind the app) says “We all have things to say and don’t necessarily have the audience with the patience to hear us, actually we all want to leave something behind, and we all want to leave a stamp behind us”.

Presently this free app is only compactable with Facebook, but the company is putting its efforts to allow discreet messages and messages that can be sent to people not on Facebook. Company has not revealed any details about its number of users, but Alfonta said they expected to hit 100,000 users within a couple of months.
