Permanently Delete Facebook Profile without violating terms of service

facebook-logo Facebook is one of the famous social networking site in the world. Facebook has enhanced lot of its feature by allowing user made applications to play around Facebook. I have came to know about so many people feeling that they are spending more time in Facebook, and slowly getting addicted to Facebook. In order to put an end to this addition, most of them would prefer to delete their Facebook profile.

Deleting Facebook profile is not so easy as you think, its a long process. If you go to the settings page you will get an option only to deactivate your account. The deactivation will disable your profile being viewed by others till you re-login to your Facebook account. Once you login, your profile will be reactivated.

One approach to block your profile permanently is by violating Facebook terms of use. Either by try to posting same text or link in people's wall and groups within short time, or by making friends request to more than two hundred people in a single stretch. And an extreme way is by putting indecent images or lewd pics in your profile and albums. But, this may not be a good way of dealing with your Facebook profile, as it would trash your impression among your friends.

The better way to delete your Facebook profile is by giving a request, to permanently delete your profile. In order to do this, you need to follow the link to make a request to permanently delete your Facebook account.

facebook-delete-my-profile

After clicking the link above, you have to confirm delete action by giving your password and solving one captcha.

Now experience Real-time Search in Twitter

twitter-logoTwitter has spear headed the micro blogging revolution by allowing its users to  update their status and queries through web, IM, mobile etc. Now twittering has become an easy way to throw your status updates to your friends or followers.

Now twitter has launched a  real time search facility, that can help you search about other user's updates based on your search key words. The special thing about the search facility is that, the search results can be updated in real-time. After serving you the search result, if some one make a status update which contains the search keywords, twitter will show you the number of new updates available and will ask you to refresh the result.

twitter-search

In light of this search facility in twitter eweek reported a possible threat to Google search. But, in my opinion twitter search will cannot be threat to Google search, as the twitter search shows the result only from the status updates available with the twitter by its users where as Google provides the result from the indexed information from pages in the web.

Safari4The browser war has officially begun when Google launched its Chrome, but now  the war is going to get tougher than ever before with the new Safari 4. Apple brand is famous for launching unique products in a particular niche with maximum perfection and quality, rather than giving importance to number of varied products of same kind. Their history can speak more, till now it was iPhone, now it could be Safari 4.

Apple has launched the Safari 4 beta recently, allowing users to experience the faster and innovative browsing. Safari 4 is claiming to have 150 features, that would give a clear visibility among all other web browsers and to convert users of other browsers like IE, Firefox etc. I feel IE team will have a tough time ahead as they already loosing new users to Firefox 3.

The pretty features available in Safari 4 are,  Voice over screen reader, Speculative Loading of pages, Web kit, HTML 5 media and offline support, 3d view and pin facility for top sites, 3d history search, movable tabs, extensive rss reader, a bunch of developer tools and integration with iPhoto, iTunes and other Mac products.

It is sure that, Safari 4 is going to give sleepless nights to other browser teams. Just try Safari 4 beta to experience its features.

firefox-3-logo The famous web statistics provider statcounter has launched a global statistics section which highlights the global internet usage statistics on the basis of web browser, operating system, mobile web browser, mobile phones and search engines.

In light of the statistics analyzed for last 7 months statcounter global statistics team has concluded that the usage of Firefox 3 is getting steadily increased when compared with the internet explorer usage.
