Social Media’s Epilogue: A Design Study Exploring Postmortem Data Management
January 1, 2013 – Present
Members of social network sites (SNS) invest considerable time and energy into creating personal data; this data has value but following a member’s death it is unclear how it will be managed. Our work builds on the current research on postmortem social networking and focuses on the responsibilities of those left behind. Our work was conducted in two phases: the first examined existing applications addressing postmortem data management, the second involved an exploratory design study. Our design study was informed by previous research on user practices and attitudes around death. We produced personas, storyboards, and prototypes to illuminate issues involved when transferring access and control of data to a new user. The findings of this exploration foregrounded the importance of considering the user experience of survivors who receive postmortem data. As a result of this work, we are now engaging in semi-structured interviews with SNS users who have experienced loss within the past year to further explore the needs of this community.
Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's experience at Meta, particularly in building crisis response and nonprofit tooling, aligns with a mission-driven culture. Their involvement in community service organizations through personal projects and their focus on user experience for survivors in the 'Social Media’s Epilogue' project indicate empathy and a desire to create impactful solutions. However, the target role is 'Frontend Developer', and while there is some frontend experience (React), the majority of their professional experience at Meta seems to lean towards backend, system architecture, and product integrity, which might not be a direct cultural fit for a pure frontend role without further validation of their frontend passion and recent hands-on experience.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate demonstrates strong leadership and collaboration skills through their roles at Meta and Johnson Controls, including people management, mentoring, and cross-functional collaboration. Their experience with product integrity and A/B testing indicates a data-driven and user-centric approach. The description of building resilient communities and supporting nonprofits suggests a strong sense of responsibility and impact-driven work ethic. The candidate's ability to proactively learn and implement modern web application microservices also highlights adaptability and initiative.
