[[BlogOfDeath.com]] is a morbidly fun little website. Written by a New York based writer/editor with a passion for obituaries, this site provides the obituaries of the famous, infamous and just plain interesting. Since it's inception in 2003, [[BlogOfDeath.com|The Blog of Death]] has published over 1,400 obituaries and 19,000 tributes. What makes the site an interesting visit is that it really shows how much life is given to the process of death, turning somber moments in to times of joy, reflection or just plain humor.

The concept of a fully editable website was invented over a decade ago, and is now popularly referred to as a "Wiki" -- [[wiki|more on that story here]]. [[AboutUs.org]] uses the same technology to provide a collaborative space where people can share their knowledge, add their opinions and traverse the internal links of the site to discover sites related to their personal or professional interests.
