Web 2.0 Suicide Machine

Tired of your Social Network? Liberate your newbie friends with a Web2.0 suicide! This machine lets you delete all your energy sucking social-networking profiles, kill your fake virtual friends, and completely do away with your Web2.0 alterego.

The Web 2.0 Suicide Machine is a service that automatically removes private content and friends on social media platforms MySpace, LinkedIn and Twitter, to “commit suicide in social networks”, without deleting or deactivating their accounts.
