How to delete facebook accounts

There is a large number of techies talking about closing their Facebook accounts. I myself closed my account twice now. Both times it was right there when I logged in again. It was as if it was just paused for a little while. It’s very much not like WordPress. On WordPress if you close an account, you can never bring it back. No one can re-use that name, it is completely over at that point.

There are a few places talking about how to close the accounts. I personally do not think either will work.

Rumor has it that if you mention any of this on facebook, your post will get deleted. If you post it again your account will get deleted. That to me sounds like the only way to get your account deleted properly. :-) . Just be sure to clean everything off your account first.

Gotta beat the machine.

Twitter is where it’s at. Exactly what it says it is.
