Google's Death Panel. :D

Google's done something that all cloud companies should do: Allow users to control what happens to their data, after a period of inactivity, sometimes known as death.

Via Google's Inactive Account Manager, aka the Death Panel, you're able to set up a living will of sorts, for your cloud data.  You can have your data deleted or not; you can automate emails sent to people notifying them of your departure from Google (or this world), etc.

You can choose the number of months of inactivity (3, 6, 9 or 12 months).  They'll alert you (via SMS) a month in advance that you've been inactive, so that you can stop the automated process from executing your de facto cloud living will.

Nice eh?
