How does the afterlife embraced the world-wide web? Through Tweeji of course! Tweeji is a new Twitter-like site with an idea similar to CelebrityTweet - a place for Tweets from famous people. However, in this case, the famous people are…ummm, deceased. Yes, this site boasts itself as the original dead celebrity’s website.Wondering what William Shakespeare, Anna Nicole Smith, Albert Einstein, Walt Disney or even Notorious B.I.G are up to these days? Heck, you can always “suggest a dead celebrity” if someone is missing.
Go ahead and join in if you like, not me though, there’s just something creepy about “following dead people” – quite morbid. I've got to agree with Pete Cashmore over at Mashable:
"If the angle was more like the wonderful Historical Tweets, which humorously creates faux tweets from historical figures, it would be great. It’s simply the case that wallowing in morbidity doesn’t appeal."
There you have it. Now you can get the latest from beyond… and you thought the original Twitter was waste of time…

May 21, 2009 at 6:25 PMHow does this work, is the technology based off of a random content generator or somoething? Who would waste the time to pose as someone else?
May 21, 2009 at 9:06 PMI just checked out the site and I must offer up a major thumbs down to Tweeji.com - talk about weird. Although I did go to check it out, what does that say about the idea?
