Facebook disables the "Suicide Machine"


Who ever thought up the idea to have an app called the Suicide Machine wasn't thinking so smoothly. Besides the name seeming very scary and threatening the use of it isn't really an app. This program was developed to "delete yourself" from all your social networking places to get you to live life normally before the world of social networking took over. Although it's a nice thought to get people off their computers, it is pretty extreme to get you to give up all your Facebook friends, LinkedIn connections, MySpace connections, and Twitter followers.

Can you IMAGINE life without social media? I sure can't and don't plan on using this app or program any time soon. (Facebook has banned it so you aren't able to test it out currently to get rid of your fb friends at this point.)
