I want you to have a look at this site (Post Expression) for two reasons. Firstly, I like the design and I think you will too. It’s the first time I can remember the use of dark brown and light blue as a colour combo on a website and I think it works well.
Secondly, I want to know your thoughts on the idea behind the site. Leaving multi-media messages in trust for your loved ones seems to me like a really great and touching idea.
It makes me wonder how the site’s owners/operators will feel when their first actual message is released and delivered. Geekish joy at seeing the system working? Sorrow in the knowledge that someone has just lost a loved one? I’d imagine it could play with your mind quite significantly.
In saying that I think it’s a great idea and will be seen as an invaluable service by those who receive last messages of love. I’d say with the 385 messages that have already been created at 19 Euros each, they are well on their way to breaking even. Not bad for two months of operation.

Yeah its cool. I love the design.
Whats best about this is the people – check out where they are all from (about us > who we are).
Imagine the differences in reactions to this site from us in NZ and say people our age in Lebanon, or other places that its more likely you may die young.

i’m not sure if i get this….
so… they hold onto media for you, until you die.. then your designated mate/s get the media?
so… whats this FREE TRIAL on the front page? You get 30days to try it out? So you have to die to see if it works?
Sounds pretty sink or swim… Although, if i was a cat….

Hahaha, I know exactly what you mean as I thought the same thing when I first saw the site. I’m guessing the trial is about trying out their interface and the storing of messages, etc, before commiting and handing over the moolah.
