Its off topic but the concept is so great I could not resist blogging it. A traditional business model implemented over the web in these Web2.0 times which is sure to succeed.

Before you die or any unfortunate incident occurs in your life, you make sure that all your assets, property goes into right hands. To take care of it, you make a will and assign a beneficiary to pass your assets to the correct person. Now try mapping it with the web. You have an online life. Don’t you? You exist on Gmail, Hotmail, FaceBook, Twitter and numerous other services. You have some personal pictures stored on flickr, some lovely mails on your Yahoo or Gmail account which you would not want to go into any other hands. Ever wondered what will happen to your all these accounts in case you die or something happens to you?

Here comes Legacy Locker. Legacy Locker is a service that will store your credentials to mail services, social networks and other important services on the web and will pass them to a caretaker chosen by you in event of your death. It is kind of protecting your online life after death.

The service is not available yet and will be opening in April 2009. Of course there will be money charged for the service .The pricing is kept at $300 which can be paid as one time fee of $300 or yearly payments of $30.

The list of sites/networks that Legacy Locker has already covered is impressive. The list already includes Gmail, Flickr, Facebook, Paypal, Yahoo! Mail, Ebay, iTunes, ING, Snapfish, YouTube, AOL, Amazon, Kodak Gallery, WordPress, GoDaddy, Hotmail, Netflix, Blogger, LinkedIn, Photobucket, 12seconds, Box.net, Friendster, TypePad, Party Poker, Mint, Twitter and many other sites.

The service seems to be useful. Let’s see how many users consider it for managing their online identities after death.

The popularity of any web application that provides an API can be judged by the number of mashups available for it. Twitter is no exception and recently we have seen a significant number of mashups available for twitter.
twittervision ,twitterspy, twittermap, twubble are some of the popular ones. Besides there are many desktop mashups also.

toanswer is the latest addition to this list. Created by Chuck Harmston, it can be seen as integration of twitter and Yahoo answers/Ask.

The concept behind toanswer is simple : users ask questions on twitter and they get answers to these questions on a dedicated place i.e. toanswer.

Seeing the potential number of users who ask questions on twitter, no wonder if toanswer becomes a success.

toanswer uses the twitter API, collects the questions asked,their respective answers, indexes them and shows them on toanswer. Basically it works like this-
Assuming you are a twitter user, you just  have to follow 2 users toask and toanswer and you are ready to use toanswer. If you want to ask a question you send an update to twitter as

@ToAsk your_question_goes_here

If you want to answer any question that is on toanswer you reply in a format like this

@ToAnswer [questionid] your_answer_goes_here

Note the questionid. It is required in order to associate your answer with the correct question.

As twitter is limited to 140 character updates, this can be used to take advice from users rather then answers.
