“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 machine is just a metaphor for the website which moddr_ is hosting; the belly of the beast where the web2.0 suicide scripts are maintained. Our service currently runs with Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and LinkedIn! Commit NOW!“
The way that some people use social networking is apparently out of control.
There are (allegedly) people out there whose lives are being destroyed because of their addiction to the likes of Facebook.
The Web 2.0 Suicide Machine logs into your various accounts, changes your profile picture, changes your password then deletes all your friends.
It’s a little frightening really.
Are there really people out there with so little self control that they allow Facebook to infringe on their lives? If so, won’t they simply move on to their next addiction anyway?
The fact is that most (not all) people who use these networks periodically log into their accounts at the wrong time, for instance when they’re at work, but people also browse news & sports, shop online, check their stocks and more.
Does the web really need such a suicide system?
What do you think – passing & meaningless or potentially useful?
Ironically this has reminded me that I really need to work more on our SoftwarePromotions Facebook Page.
