I think that is how http://1000memories.com/ started. It seems they've expanded to genealogy and such. Huh, the site looks like pinterest.com.
Personally, I don't want my Facebook page to be my plot. There's got to be something better.

I think the whole idea of a digital presence after our death is a little erie. I read somewhere that the applause we hear on many sitcoms was actually recorded in the 50's and is just being reused over and over again by networks, which essentially implies that we may be listening to the clapping of dead people.

Facebook doesn't represent general demographics either. How many people over 60 have an account these days? Anyway. I remember there used to be a site called MyDeathSpace that collected all the myspace pages of the recently deceased. I just checked it out and it's still around but very different from what it used to be. I liked the original version for its unmediated look into people's loss and their kind and loving comments. Those little private love letters - juxtaposed with an open forum posting style is intriguing none the less.
I think the idea of having a digital soul is great. There is a non-profit group that has been working since 1996 on archiving the internet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Archive Ever want to go back to the 90's and reminisce with your old clunky bookmarked pages? Now you can.
