What Happens To Your Online Accounts When You Are No Longer Around?

Legacy Locker is like a digital safety deposit box for all your online accounts (emails, photos, social networks, everything online that requires a login). For every account you store, you can assign a beneficiary, someone to whom you want to entrust your digital content for the future, friends and loved ones.

How It Works?

First, you create an account and fill out your profile with your basic information (address, phone numbers, etc).Next, you enter verifiers, the people who you completely trust to handle information in the unfortunate event of your passing.

The next step is to identify all your online assets, entering the Website, username, and password for each asset.

As you enter assets, you’ll assign them to your benefeciaries, the people to whom you wish to pass on your sensitive information. In addition to online assets, you can also create Legacy Letters, notes which get electronically delivered to friends, loved ones, or colleagues.

Here are some of the plans they have. Free plan is very basic it allows 3 assets, and most of us are at least have 3 or more social account not including other online accts.

Itunes Like App Store for Mac Applications

With Bodega, you don’t have to spend your time hunting for software - it’s your one-stop for all your software needs.  I thought of this idea for a long time why not have app store for Mac or Windows applications. It made sense that sooner or later some one would think of that. Bodega app store is available for download on your Mac (Mac only) which makes sense since it is only for Mac apps but i am sure that Windows version is coming soon. It is very similar to apple app store, with similar interface. Developers are invited to join the store for free and it looks like Bodega is planing on making money from advertising apps.

Check your Twitter, FeedBurner and Google Analytics Stats on Iphone

EGO REVIEW

Ego does not give you full stats but quick preview. Twitter stats show you the follower count and the last tweet, or number of updates, or your following count. Feedburner stats show you the reader count, along with an indicator for when there is a dip in feed count. Google Analytics show the number of visits to your web site including daily, hourly and monthly stats. I believe as Google roll out its Analytics API more features for this app is to follow.

Ego Cost $1.99 or visit developers web site
