In Memoriam

Ghostspace hit its 10,000th memorial last night. Founder Gui Youling built the site anticipating that users would want to create virtual memorials at the GPS coordinates at which loved ones died—the geoblogging equivalent of a ghost bike or a cross at the side of the road. Instead, a huge preponderance of users has chosen to construct memorials at the coordinates of the deceased’s favorite places—the geoblogging equivalent of sprinkling cremains on Mount Shasta or tipping the forty. I notice via Google that Coffinpimp in Accra is now offering custom-pimped Ghostspace memorials. Go check them out!
