Justdelete.me Delete your online presence!

Nowadays its hard to find someone who doesn't have a bunch of online accounts. We all do. We divide our lives between the virtual one and the physical one. I guess calling it "real life" is a little bit antiquated, since we can wear our "virtual life" on our wrists and our eyes.

Starting from Facebook, Twitter and moving on to Gmail, Outlook and finishing at some forum that you registered on a while ago, the sheer number of online accounts that we have is something to think about. Even multiple accounts at the same site.

Sometimes it can just be too much. We have all done it so no one is better than the other. One needs to sit back and think though, what is necessary and what is useless. It is a waste to keep accounts that you used just once to check a cool new service.

There are some sites that aren't very friendly at allowing you to close your account. Yes I'm talking about you Amazon. Of course there are others who are okay with removing you from their web service, but they are a dying breed.



British developer Robb Lewis created justdelete.me to tackle that specific problem. What he aims to do with it is show you which services make it easy and which ones make difficult erasing your account. It will even tell you which accounts are impossible to close.

It ranks the sites according to the steps a user needs to take to close the account. It also highlights some sites which you might want to stop using. The service is free so for anyone who wants to delete their personal presence

It may not be easy, but it's worth doing. Click Here to check it out.
