We talked about this before, but leave it to Google to come up with a solution for taking care of our personal digital content after we die.

Weeks ago, I told you that I sometimes visit the Facebook pages of friends who died just to make sure no one is abusing their personal space with unkind remarks.

Many of us would rest easier knowing we had some control over our Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Flickr, Instagram, iTunes, Gmail, etc. accounts after we died.

Google just announced a way to control your digital afterlife. Google users can decide if they want their information deleted or handled by a beneficiary. That means you can let your loved ones know if you want your libraries deleted or bequeathed to someone else. Each account can have specific orders.

Google will also let us choose to eliminate our accounts after they are inactive for three, six, nine, or twelve months. Google will send a text message and email before taking any action. The feature, called Inactive Account Manager, is accessible on the account settings page.

Google said there will be more developments on this subject. Meanwhile, we should all live and be well.
