Tired of your Social Network?
Liberate your newbie friends with a Web2.0 suicide! This machine lets you delete all your energy sucking social-networking profiles, kill your fake virtual friends, and completely do away with your Web2.0 alterego. The machine is just a metaphor for the website which moddr_ is hosting; the belly of the beast where the web2.0 suicide scripts are maintained. Our service currently runs with Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and LinkedIn! Commit NOW!

Danja Vasiliev title

sort of likes computers, these machines that do almost everything for us, yet not asking what we actually want. He likes to break them open and use the insides for making other things, most of the times other computers. He is excited about giving old hardware new roles and characters. Leaking capacitors and naked microchips are the toys of his days… It seems important to Vasiliev to bring and explain to people how easy it is actually to confuse or sabotage established systems, what can be the [dis]advantage of [mis]using computers or computer softwares and what consequences and surprises we can expect from the growing popularity of technological innovations.
