This. Finally Google has taken this initiative. I wanted this for a long time. And yes there are some third party website who does provide such paid services. But it's always nice to be able to set them up from grounds up of the same network. I hope other social sites follow the suit & provide the similar service.

A friend just pinged me telling me that he is entering my name in his inactivity account manager.
The first question that popped in my mind? I am a chain smoker. I am likely to die sooner than him. I am a bad candidate to pick.
Also. What happens if both of us die together? In a car accident for example? I guess you can add multiple contacts...

If we assume that one person dies at his normal average 70 years of age. What are the odds that his alive remaining friends has the ability to even process the message? We've seen this much fast transition of technology withing few years. Do you really think we'll be able to keep up till 70 or 80 years of age.chromaniac said:

I think it is more focused at people who die in freak accidents than of old age.
And the service lets you decide if you want your account deleted. And it is optional to give selected people access to your data.
I am not sure what the other person would do with your Google data like +1s and other content. He can only download your data. Would have been cool if he could login as you on your Google+ account for example and leave an update related to why you have suddenly disappeared.

Not a first of its kind but seems cleverly implemented.
And I guess adding contacts is optional. It says "you might want.."

Well you should congratulate more other web services too. Microsoft especially is known to delete your account automatically if you do not login for a year or so. Would have to check what the latest expire time period is for Yahoo and Microsoft accounts. 😛
You are not alone. Happened with me too. I am assuming that the feature was developed by a Google team based in Europe and they failed to internationalize the sms alert 🙂maníaco said:
