I participated in International Delete Your Myspace account today. In fact, I took it one step further and also deleted my Facebook account! I found both sites to be more annoying than useful anyway.
I had no problems at all when I deleted my Myspace account. However, Simon Owens (the blogger that started this rally) has reported some issues involved with the account deletions. He has provided some step by step instructions in case you encounter any of those issues.
When I deleted my account on Myspace, it warned me that all information would be lost and could not be retrieved once deleted. Good! That is what I want. BUT, when I deleted my account on Facebook, the message was quite different.
It told me I could reinstate the account at any time by signing in as usual. What??!!! How exactly is that "deleting" my account? Apparently Facebook prefers to keep your information even after you have chosen to delete your account. At least I will stop getting all of those annoying fun wall pokes or whatever it is that Facebook does! This is my profile page on Flugpo, which is my social network of choice.

Would be great to see the effect this has. I deleted mine a while ago for similar reasons.
I think many people have. Thank you for visiting :)
