Just Delete Me - How to remove your data from different sites

An interesting little site, not only for what it does but what it tells you. The site has a bunch of buttons that will bring you to the page that allows (if it allows) you to delete you info. Signed up with Reddit and now want everything gone? No problem, click the reddit button and it takes you there. The buttons are labeled and color coded... Green for easy, yellow for medium, red for hard and black for impossible. The neatest things is that you can also use it to check before you sign up to avoid those that will keep your data even if you don't... Like, I just found out that freakin Slashdot won't let me quit if I ever decide to... A surprise to me.

I like the list of sites where it's damn near impossible to ever get your info off.

In lieu of deleting my stuff off of several sites, I've just let them go. Myspace- I dont even remember if I deleted that. There's a half dozen other sites I dont even know what my login info is, so I'll just ignore those.

I'll keep Facebook, even though I dont post pictures of what I eat. I like twitter, but I read and dont post. And then there's this place, I dont plan on going anywhere.

and since I loathe shopping, I don't want to delete myself.

ETA: it does look like a useful site, overall, so I've bookmarked it for future reference. Thanks!
