The Digital Beyond is a blog about your digital existence and what happens to it after your death. We’re the go-to source for archival, cultural, legal and technical insights to help you predict and plan for the future of your online content.

The Digital Beyond is co-written by Evan Carroll and John Romano, thought-provokers in the budding digital afterlife industry. Their research, first presented in a crowded room at SXSW 2009, was immediately mentioned on NPR’s All Tech Considered. After realizing the growing importance of the digital afterlife, they created The Digital Beyond as a think tank for the digital afterlife.

Since then the Orlando Sentinel, The New York Times and The Austin Chronicle have mentioned The Digital Beyond and consulted Evan and John on related stories. In November 2009, they appeared on WRAL-TV (Raleigh, NC) and on CNN in a featured video story, Planning Your Digital Afterlife. They returned to SXSW in 2010 to host another session, called Become Immortal: Understanding the Digital Afterlife.

The Digital Beyond has grown into the go-to source for digital afterlife information. Using the site, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube, Evan and John have generated a growing audience for the site. Holding down top rankings on Google for “digital afterlife” and an average 800 page views per month, The Digital Beyond features the most comprehensive list of digital afterlife services on the Internet.

Evan and John welcome your comments and suggestions. Media and speaking requests are also welcome.
