facebook

Apart from blogging, social networking sites have gained popularity in today’s technological age. Users now have the ability to “connect” with their long lost friends and/or loved ones and, as an addition, some social networking sites give its users the option to choose the kind of relationship they have with another user (websites such as multiply.com have connection options such as “brother”, “classmate” etc.). Sounds neat, eh?

However, a new social networking website, Facebook.com, has received a lot of complaints from its members that they were unable to “completely” delete their personal information from the servers of Facebook. Yes, there is a delete option there if you wish to remove your account, but you need to write Facebook if you wish to “completely” delete your personal information from their servers.
