Facebook bans the Web 2.0 Suicide Machine

The year of the social backlash – LA Times:

“The Suicide Machine is a clever Web site out of the Netherlands that was designed to free users from their social network lives on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and LinkedIn. You just pick one of the networks, start up the machine, and it graphically shows you unfriending your contacts, one by one, and eliminating all your other contacts with your profile. Forever. Although the now-friendless profile actually survives, the Suicide Machine is designed not to allow you ever to sign on to it again.”
