The right tombstone for the global Internet age

 Respectance is the name of a new social networking platform. It is a kind of MySpace for the deceased, where the bereaved can mourn together online.  
As with MySpcace, profiles can also be created in the virtual cemetery. However, the people portrayed are dead people who are commemorated with texts, pictures and videos. The operators of the service believe that it is important to help people grieve, especially at a time when society is getting older and older. People must be given the opportunity to express their feelings to others. The service is also aimed at people who are simply unable to attend a funeral. As Pressetext reports, users not only remember personal relatives, but also their idols. One of the most visited profiles is that of the late grunge hero Kurt Cobain. But unknown people are also presented prominently on the homepage via a window showing new additions. The service is currently free of charge and Respectance does not use advertising
