I like the concept. But.. theres something about it. It feels kind of creepy, haha.

That’s an awesme idea!

I think that rocks!

My first thought is that I can see a lot of suicidal people using this. Kind of like an e-suicide note.

LOOL, i’m so doing this.

Well, someone I went to high school with died this past October. Another kid while I was in high school committed suicide. Had a video app like this been used by these two individuals, it would just have seemed too weird. I think that this really does not seem serious, and it’s almost… I don’t even know. I don’t like the idea, I think it makes light of tragic, unforeseen, accidental deaths in a way. I really am not sure how to explain.

I like the idea but I’m not sure I’ll try it.

We really don’t need an app for that.

i rather write letters to people 

What I’m doing in case something happens to me one day is making sure that someone in my family knows where all my journals are, and inside the front cover of at least one of the journals I’ll have a specific date written down. That date will lead them to an entry where I put down my passwords to this and other sites. That way my ‘note left behind for others to find’ is my Xanga page.

No app though for me. Blech.

I’m probably a bit strange, but I don’t see it as morbid at all.  Like you said, death is inevitable.  People just die.  Sometimes, people die young.  Is it tragic?  Yes.  But inevitable.  If I wasn’t so lazy, I would probably do this.

I feel like I would be jinxing myself if I did that haha.

I just heard about If I Die this morning.  It is a little creepy though.  But then again, I have also heard of a service that mails letters to your friends and family after you’re gone.  Actually, I found a list of several websites that offer such services.  I am on the fence whether or not I’d use these services.

@KickDrumHeart@datingish - It does feel that way, a bit.  However, I don’t find it more morbid than writing your will.  I do think this is a good reminder to cherish life, family and friends more, while we’re still alive.

I think I may get a bit weirded out if I got a video link from a friend who just died. And if I were to do one for myself, what would I say right now? I’d have to update the vid a lot if I kept on living, haha.

I like the concept (don’t see it as morbid), but its strange….I’d have to put a lot of thought into what to send to who but I’d probably wouldn’t do for fear of jinxing myself

I would be constantly re-recording the video or re-writing the messages. I’d prefer the significant people in my life and true online friends just know how I feel about them while I’m living. They’ll find out eventually when I die.

It was unsettling enough to be able to read my friend’s last FB status update after she died. It would freak me out to get a message from her after.

@cm006j - I definitely agree with this. It’s extremely unsettling to see how normal someone’s life was and then bam, unexpected death. I’d not at all want a video sent to me. Plus, what about all the people who are close to you or think they are close to you, but you aren’t as close to them? I’d think that some people might be upset if they didn’t get a “last goodbye” type of message from someone that they cared quite a bit about. 

I think this is great!  Much more reliable than leaving behind a written letter and hoping the right person finds it

Awful. Suppose your boyfriend ends up killing you. Then, your video proclaiming your love for him comes on.  LOSER

Boo it costs money

Haha why not just write your own suicide-but-not-suicide note? Sounds like the same thing.
