Dead people Twitter

A new Web service offers Twitter feeds from dead people. Tweeji offers feeds from famous dead people, and not in a morbid way.  These are historical, literary, cultural figures.  For instance, Rimbaud:

Is it Gothic?  Mashable finds this distasteful.  "a morbid marketing angle that leaves an unpleasant taste in the mouth."  But we've seen other Twitter feeds from famous writers, like Thoreau, Orwell, and Oscar Wilde.  It depends, perhaps, on which dead person.  Mashable picks Ian Curtis.  Others might be irked at the Jesus or Derrida feeds.
