I didn’t know there was any application by the name of Web 2.0 Suicide Machine on Facebook and a pretty bad way to learn about it as Facebook has killed the app. The reason? Well the Suicide Machine was similar to Seppukoo which as we all know helped users killing their Facebook profiles. Why would anyone want to go through such a pain to delete their profiles? I mean doing it on your own will take much shorter than what took to create it (deleting wall posts, etc is excluded).

While I am no big fan of such apps, but I admire its creator taking the time to post a video on how it exactly works. While Facebook has actually simplified the task of deleting profiles and record on the social network, but the absence of that ease had been one reason why these apps found success. Coming over to Web2.0 Suicide Machine, the app actually deleted each and every bit of information that had been archived on Facebook. Now, that was exactly might have pissed Facebook off, we all know that Facebook doesn’t like deleting your information for unspecified duration even when you have terminated your account. We have are answer right there.

I said it earlier when I talked about Seppukoo, applications along these lines will never really see it through on Facebook. Why? The obvious reason is that the social network would never want its users quitting and with other apps helping them achieve that challenges its monopoly. Just a piece of advice, if you are planning to come out with an app along the same lines, don’t for you will eventually have it banned.
