AccountKiller.com, first aid in account termination

Want to ditch your online account? Shouldn't be a problem, right? Unfortunately, on many websites, including popular ones like Facebook, deleting your account can be a real pain.

AccountKiller collects direct links and deleting instructions to make account termination easy. Websites like Skype that do not allow deleting your profile in an easy way at all get blacklisted. Luckily there are websites that do care about your online privacy.

Why do sites often make it so difficult or even impossible to delete your account? The answer is: customer retention. In other words, they wish to make money with your information. However, for a market to function efficiently, transparency is required. If sites are not transparent, you will incur some loss: time, money, and... your mood! AccountKiller helps you through. ;)

Amazingly Twitter supports SSL but LinkedIn does not.

I guess LinkedIn doesn't expect people to use its service as "seriously" as Twitter?

And they are correct in doing so, considering how spammy they tend to be after you've joined the LI Collective...
