Delete your account

Ever set up an account and regret it? (Remember Myspace? Me neither.) Well, I see that Kim Kommando is touting this site: deleteyouraccount.com

Over the years, I've created dozens of accounts that I no longer use. Because your website usage changes over time, you could have a lot of personal information floating around on sites like LinkedIn, Twitter, eBay, Facebook, and Google.
Are you still using all of these accounts? You can easily get rid of your unwanted or abandoned accounts with Delete Your Account. It has a large, searchable database of websites that require accounts.
Well, I was hoping to rid myself of sites for which I registered and forgot existed. Seems that's not their bag, for they have a disclaimer:

Note (2011/08/29): An article was recently published stating that you can search for your name on this site, and it will locate any accounts that you have. The information posted is incorrect. The search function is only to search for sites that you want to delete your account from, not for your name. If you would like to find what accounts you have across the web, you can try something like spokeo.com (completely unaffiliated with this site).

If only life were simple, then anyone could steal your identity then wipe you off the face of the Clutternet.
