(Pics) Thanks to the famous blue verification seal, celebrities have taken to Twitter as an official forum to voice their opinion, share anecdotes and post selfies. Several of these celeb accounts, though, may have attained an inactive status due to lack of interest, busy lives, or worse…. death. Digital graveyards have become common on social media; accounts which are kept active post-mortem for friends, family, or fans to post eulogies or sympathies to the deceased. When a Twitter account is still online after the death of its user, people may tweet @ the username with support, kind words, and condolences. When the deceased user is a celebrity, the account might become a living memorial to the celebrity, one that fans can check on from time to time. Oftentimes, the deceased’s account will sit dormant with their last tweet still standing as the most “recent” post. Dormant accounts includes celebrities such as Ryan Dunn, Whitney Houston, Cory Monteith, and Lee Thompson Young. Countless websites have been dedicated to the last tweets of celebrities before they passed away; tweets ranging from comments about the cheesy ‘Sharknado’ movie to appeals for world peace. But what happens when a dead celebrity’s Twitter account is still posting and active even after the account user has passed? Some will see it as insensitive, while others may see it as an honorable way to use the celebrity’s fame to bring attention to other projects, promotions, and activities. Here, we’ve compiled information on the top eight Twitter accounts that still act as the voice of the celebrity even after they have gone to the grave. Whether you think it’s tasteless or creative, the proof of the eternal fame of these celebrities is through their Twitter accounts, with their usernames immortalized forever -or at least as long as Twitter remains popular… 8. Elizabeth Taylor – @ElizabethTaylor and @DameElizabeth (March 2011) Elizabeth Taylor was born in 1932 and got her first big break in 1944. When she passed on in 2011, the world lost one of Hollywood’s greatest actresses and political advocates. Even though she was dealing with a myriad of health problems towards the end of her life, she made herself quite a presence on social media before finally dying from congestive heart failure. The Twitter account she used was @DameElizabeth, which is still active, and now, her trust fund has set up a separate account for activism and charity at @ElizabethTaylor. This just goes to show that even in death, Taylor is still able to make the world a better place by bringing more awareness to social and world issues that affect us today.

Dear Abby – @dearabby (March 2013) The world knows her as simply “Dear Abby”, but her friends, family, and business associates knew her as Pauline Phillips. The “Dear Abby” franchise has become one of the biggest hits in the world. In 1956 Phillips became an advice columnist writing under the pen name Abigail Van Buren. Even back in the fifties, newspaper readers appreciated her straightforward advice. Phillips wrote the column solo until 2000 when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, at which stage her daughter Jeanne joined her behind the keyboard. By that time, Dear Abby had grown into an international sensation with copycats the world over. When the “Dear Abby” Twitter account was set up, Phillips made a few tweets herself, but eventually, the account began to be used for Dear Abby promotions exclusively, featuring both new and original, old columns. 3. Roger Ebert – @ebertchicago (April 2013) Roger Ebert was one of the world’s most successful film critics, teaming up with Gene Siskel in 1975 for a partnership that made them famous. Ebert won a Pulitzer Prize for his work as a film critic and worked with Siskel until Siskel’s death in 1999. After that, Ebert continued to work solo, even after he lost his voice because of cancer. He lost his battle to cancer in 2013 but if you check Ebert’s Twitter account today, you will find that it is dedicated to the art of being a film critic with sharing of blogs, reviews, and more. Just as his Twitter survives his death, his work is still remembered, through an EbertFest Film Festival, which has taken place every year since Ebert launched it in 1999.

Paul Walker – @RealPaulWalker (November 2013) When Paul Walker was tragically killed in a car accident on November 30 th , 2013 along with his business partner and friend Roger Rodas, he still had a lot of projects to which he was committed, including an upcoming installment of “Fast & Furious”. Paul Walker was an avid Twitter user in life, so it made sense for his account to continue even after he passed on.

However, if you check his Twitter account today, you will find various tweets from movie promotions to personal photos and other heartfelt messages that memorialize Walker’s career and life. 1.
