All right, if you have not been living under a rock for the last six months, you all know what twitter is. I kind of used it in the past by tweeting all the posts on this blog. I have started to use it again and you can have a look at my profile.
I don’t know about you but when I decide to delete an account from an Internet service provider, I would really like to see all my data gone. Until recently, I was quite annoyed at Facebook for not offering the option. You could only deactivate your account. Now, it is possible to fully delete an account. I found this method in their forums. For me, this is good customer service.

Go to this page:
http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account
Click “Submit” and follow the instructions.
Your account will be deactivated for two weeks, and if you don’t log in during that period, your account is permanently deleted.
This method is official and should be complete, i.e. no need to delete individual photos, comments, messages or items from your profile or anywhere else on Facebook!

Today, a friend suggested that I participate in the upcoming Internet experiment called Le Baiser de La Matrice.
With this experiment, Véronique Aubouy suggests that over 3,000 individuals from all over the world read a page from “À la Recherche du temps perdu” by Marcel Proust in front of a web camera. By the end of the experiment, all the words from this book would have been read in French by people from all horizons and recorded into a 170 hours movie. The shooting will take place directly on the Internet starting at noon GMT on September 27th 2008. It is open to all and she invites all of you to register on her blog and invite others to built the network map of “Baiser de la Matrice”.
I registered earlier and will see where this will lead me. I will attempt to record in front of a raging wood fire in my living room.
If you speak French, why don’t you just join us?
