I think there are a few things missing here, such as Tumblr, Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo, Blogger and WordPress. But, this is definitely a good start! And their article leads over to this page as well: How to Create an In-Case-of-Emergency Everything Document to Keep Your Loved Ones Informed if Worst Comes to Worst.

Consider the Big Book of Everything, a free Excel grid or PDF from Erik Dewey. This document appears to have damn near anything you can think of to track and share with others at the time of your demise. It’s also useful for things like passports, finding a new job or anything else where you have to remember the past.
