How to permanently quit Facebook (without calling your lawyer)

leave a comment

Do you wish to quit FACEBOOK ? Here’s a tricky way to do it without laboriously deleting all your wall posts and photos, according to WikiHow.

1. Make sure your Facebook account contains a contact email address (such as Yahoo or Gmail).
2. Delete any college, high school, or work email addresses listed in your Facebook account. Your contact email should be the only address listed.
3. Deactivate your Facebook account.
Register using an email address other than your contact email (a college, high school, or work email is fine).
4. Once you are signed into your new Facebook account, add your contact email address to the account. Open the link in the confirmation email that has been sent. This step will wipe out your previous Facebook account, rendering it inaccessible.

PS: It’s not clear whether your previous account’s data is still stored on Facebook’s servers somewhere If you really want to be secure, change the contact e-mail back to the new e-mail address and then remove your original contact e-mail from the list. Then deactivate the new account.
It should be noted that quite how deep your deletion goes is highly questionable: does facebook still store your information even though youve destroyed your way of accessing it?

Now you can permanently delete your facebook account by accessing this URL: http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account

I hope.

leave a comment

Moby announced via his film-music Website MobyGratis that he wants amateur filmmakers to submit their versions of a Film, Video or Short for “Ooh Yeah” . The winning filmmaker will receive $10,000 and the title of “official” video (deadline: July 14th).

In His Words:

hi,
i’ll keep this brief.
this portion of moby.com, ‘film music’, is for independent and non-profit filmmakers, film students, and anyone in need of free music for their independent, non-profit film, video, or short.
to use the site you log in(or on?) and are then given a password.
you can then listen to the available music and download whatever you want to use in your film or video or short.
the music is free as long as it’s being used in a non-commercial or non-profit film, video, or short.
if you want to use it in a commercial film or short then you can apply for an easy license, with any money that’s generated being given to the humane society.
i hope that you find what you’re looking for,
moby

The Webby Awards Winner’s Gallery

The gallery was designed as a fun and interactive way to see all of the Nominees and Winners from the 12th Annual Webby Awards and includes links to the work and the ability to filter entries a number of ways. For instance, the “trends” filter shows entries with the top 7 tags entered by users during the People’s Voice voting. And the “Winner Type” tab allows you to select from Webby Winners, People’s Voice Winners and Nominees.
