Serious question: At what point do you remove friends who have died from your phone/unfollow on Twitter etc?
@stowball Not after two years. I still haven't taken my Dad's number and photo out of my address book yet, though.

@DaveHogue@stowball I keep pictures of my parents in my phone. I suppose to remember. But they died way before Facebook and Twitter. -
@MichaelClawson@DaveHogue it's interesting how new technology brings new, edge case complications -
@stowball@MichaelClawson It took FB a few years to create a bereavement and loss policy. Social on the web keeps people around longer... -
@DaveHogue@stowball@michaelclawson I didn't realise FB have a policy. I've often wondered what happens. Can you "close" someone's account? -
@davecathcart@stowball Yes, you can close or memorialize a deceased person's account. https://www.facebook.com/help/408583372511972/ … -
@DaveHogue@stowball@MichaelClawson nice that you can do that, although it must be difficult for loved ones. Looks like twitter has similar
