Futuristk.com - Sending Out Messages To The Future

This is a new social networking site which involves an online messaging service whereby users can send communications to the future. These are delivered to recipients at an exact date which is stipulated beforehand. Messages can be delivered up to 50 years from the day you write them down.

A service like this one can be put to as many uses as you can imagine – sending messages to you future self reminding him life is beautiful and also for blogging in advance, letting you schedule posts in case you want to have a holiday and leave work absolutely at home.

Also, a post-mortem feature is included for users to schedule messages to be sent the moment that they have passed away. That is, you designate people of your trust to be notified once you breathed your last.

That is a good range of services, and while I don’t necessarily think that Futuristk.com can become the next big thing, it is certainly useful to know such a service is around and that it can be easily employed should the urge take you.

“Future.tk is a social network with an online messaging service that allows you send messages to the future by scheduling the exact date you wish them to be delivered to your recipients. And with the post-morterm feature, you can also schedule messages to be send only after you have passed away. In order to use this service, you must select people of your trust to notificate us you have passed away. We can deliver your messages to until 50 years from the day you send them.”

It is a good way to set up reminders and making sure nothing runs behind schedule ever again.

Does something like the post-mortem feature stand as a good or bad idea in practice? Doesn’t it create an excessive interdependence?
