Like the computer in the movie "2001," Facebook is struggling to keep its profiles from virtual extinction at the hands of its arch enemy - the Web 2.0 Suicide Machine.
The Suicide Machine is a clever web site out of the Netherlands that was designed to free users from their social network lives on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and LinkedIn. You just pick one of the networks, start up the machine, and it graphically shows you unfriending your contacts, one by one, and eliminating all your other contacts with your profile. Forever.
Facebook is now fighting back. The Suicide Machine is reporting that Facebook has banned its IP address, thus foiling suicides.
For the report: Facebook fights back, disallows the Suicide Machine | Technology | Los Angeles Times
