Web 2.0’s Social Suicide Machine

Web 2.0’s Social Suicide Machine

I haven’t logged into Facebook in a few months now. However, I’m still being bombarded with emails from the service, and apparently, my Facebook friends are being commanded to write something on my wall in an attempt to get me sucked into the service. Sorry, friends, it’s not going to work. For people burned out on social networking, like me, there’s always the option of suicide: Web 2.0 Suicide Machine to the rescue!

What the Web 2.0 Suicide Machine does is it logs into your social media home, like your Facebook, LinkedIn, or MySpace, and it removes you. It changes the password, unfriends all your contacts, and removes every trace of your content on the service as best it can. Best of all, you can watch your former web life disappear right before your eyes as the service works its magic!

I had a friend recently pull the plug on her Facebook, and she’s not regretted it for an instant. I’m sure I could do the same to my Facebook and MySpace and whatnot, but first I’d have to remember what the passwords to those things were before I could set the Suicide Machine to work on them. It’s easier just to not use them in my case. Don’t think I didn’t think about trying the service out for myself, though; there’s still a chance I might!
