MySpace für Tiere, Ex-Lover, Marken, was es nicht alles gibt. Eigentlich gab es sogar schon mal einen MySpace Friedhof, gibt es genaugenommen immer noch, aber jetzt endlich eine Freundesseite exclusiv für die Dahingeschiedenen. Wir vermuten, das Thema ist so schräg, dass alle da nur Unsinn treiben werden. (more)

Respectance provides a space for family and friends to honor their dead loved ones by creating online tributes.

Can't you even die this days without it turning into a competition to be friended, linked in, or tweeted? The latest foray into the social networking stew is Respectance, a cross between one of the Net's many tribute sites to the dead (many quite lovely) and a social network that hopes to capture as many (living) eyeballs as possible.

Respectance is about the loss of family/friends, social networking for people grieving, it's a very well done vertical niche social network built from the fact that people are expressing grief on MySpace, Facebook etc but they are not well suited to this sort of activity as some people grieve for a long time, their site helps people remember in a respectful way, since read that they are getting series A funding which makes a lot of sense to me, they have figured on a good niche to fill after all.
