Sometimes we just need a fresh start, a blank slate which leaves your past behind. But doing so online can be a pain in the hard drive, especially when you want to erase your online past. That's where the site Delete Your Account comes into play, helping you remove your online footprint, once and for all.
Delete Your Account is a database of all the major social media and networking sites, with instructions for the following sites:

- iTunes
- Last.fm

Details include how to remove yourself from these sites' database, but also how to add yourself back on if you've mistakenly deleted your account or if you've changed your mind, making this a great quick glance resource if you're moving on from a dead account, trying to erase your past follies or belong to the tinfoil hat brigade and are over this "internet thing". Complete listings and instructions over at Delete Your Account.

This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free. It is the old what goes around comes around routine.
