First, your point about controlling the message when you pass is TERRIFIC. How many of us have seen opportunistic acquaintances take over the memorial of a dead loved one. It really, really sucks, especially when the acquaintance colors everything through their own beliefs, and those beliefs contradict the beliefs/opinions of the deceased.
Then you gotta think about the potential to send individualized messages to your loved ones. Damn that would be touching.
Plus, what about stuff like Mark Twain's journals. Supposedly he had written much that he feared to publish because it was too incendiary. He thought it'd be ok for it to be published after his death. However his estate chose to keep it private.
Next you can imagine the fun you could have planning your account to 'haunt' people you didn't want to say nice stuff to.
