Want to delete your account on a site but can't figure out how? AccountKiller can help. It's got deletion instructions for most of the biggest sites, and they're ranked by ease. Some companies, like AOL, make it as hard as possible to close your account, but this site is a great resource for thwarting them. The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is because the layout/copy isn't amazing, but otherwise it's awesome.

Simple, effective, and self-explanatory, but I'll explain it anyway: this site tells you if the problems you're having on a particular site are something *everyone's* experiencing, or just you. I've used it before when twitter and reddit are down. Great tool!

For me, reddit IS the internet. I get all my news there; it's the source of the funniest and most interesting stuff online; and it's a genuine community of people who interact with each other... a lot. We really do have a hive mind on reddit, for better or worse. If you're trying to use reddit for marketing, forget about it: we can sniff out commercialism.

Great informational site for those with fetish proclivities. Straightforward, non-judgmental presentation by well-regarded instructors on a wide variety of topics, and updated frequently. It's well worth the subscription fee.

Here's how to delete your info from being listed on MyLife: "If you are not a member of MyLife and you are receiving emails you wish to opt out of, please contact Customer Care at *******900 or by email at *******@mylife.com. You can also unsubscribe from all future MyLife emails by entering your email address here. Please allow 7-10 days for your request to process."

They're actually quite fast over the phone. Be sure you have your full name, current address, and one previous address in order to remove yourself.

You wouldn't think that 3 frames could be so funny, but PBF shows that keeping it simple works. Well, simple and macabre. I can't even look at this site at work because I can't help but laugh. For those of you unfamiliar with it, it has NOTHING to do with religion ;)

Thumbs up for a site that cares enough about its users to make privacy settings simple. Facebook should take a lesson from Twitter.

Good luck trying to cancel your account. Hotmail deliberately creates a run-around where it's impossible to cancel if you've ever linked your Hotmail account or MSN ID to "any paid Microsoft service." They will fail, however, to TELL you what such service may be. It seems like their business model is this: make it impossible for free users to cancel their accounts so they can artificially inflate the number of users they have.
