De-socialing Your Network, or how to remove your facebook account forever

While the number of facebook users that have deleted 9or attempted to) their accounts is known only to the facebook chiefs, the task certainly has become easier with several websites detailing the steps needed to erase your facebook account.

Special note: even deleting your facebook account does not improve your privacy. Most search engines, and an unknown number of “internet archive” services save web pages “forever” so you may not be able to erase your web based profile completely.
