Just got back home from the Southern California Genealogy Jamboree (an amazing conference by the way -- put it on your must-attend list) and playing catch up, but wanted to share the following from eagle-eyed reader Gloria (Queen) Hoppe right away:
Monster founder sets sights on online obits
The fellow behind Monster.com (the career board) has launched Tributes.com with an interesting model. I'm trying to discipline myself to get a little work done, but when I come up for air, I'm looking forward to playing with this new resource. Would be interested to hear others' thoughts on it.
And BTW, stay tuned for more details on the infamous microphone incident you may have heard about!

I did what I usually do - just try the search with my name study surname. Greatly suprised by the amount of results but after opening some, realised what the point of the site is. They are looking for user submitted content.
The base records appear to be from SSDI, but this is not explicitly stated.

Tributes.com looks to be an awesome resource. I'm assuming that the website is pulling info. from the Social Security Death index and users will begin adding their obituary info. to it. A brilliant idea!
