I got the birthday notification one my most beloved teacher, and he passed away more than a year ago.

It is a bitter sweet moment indeed. Im kind of glad i got the notification really.



I eventually had to fish up an obit for a friend that passed away after Facebook and Linkedin both suggested to me that I should "reconnect" with him after a couple of years.

Birthday notifications were sad, but the reconnect business drove me up a wall. I would pay anything if I could to reconnect with him now, but they don't know that.


Even worse is this with "Sponsored" links/likes on Facebook ... When it pops up on your wall that your dead friend liked a page or something like that ... Creeps me out.


Even worse than that when they use the pictures in advertising!
