How do I deactivate my Facebook Account?
Click the Account tab in the upper right-hand corner of your main page. The Settings tab should be highlighted and there is a Deactivate link at the very bottom of the list. When you click it, you will be asked if you are sure you want to deactivate your account and why you are doing so. You will also be shown photos of you with friends with accompanying messages that say “(Your friend here) will miss you.” There is also a box to check at the bottom to opt out of receiving e-mails from Facebook if friends tag you in photos or invite you to join the site.

How do I delete my Facebook account?
It’s not as easy to find out how to delete your account. I clicked on the Account tab and then Help Center and typed in “delete account” in the search window. Under the question prompt “How do I permanently delete my account” there is a link to the page where you can click the Submit button or the Cancel button (Click or Copy and paste):
https://ssl.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account&__a=17

What happens to my data after I delete my account?
According to this Facebook Help Center page all personally identifiable information associated with your account will be purged from Facebook’s database if you choose to permanently delete the account. “This includes information like your name, e-mail address, mailing address, and IM screen name,” the site says. “Copies of some material (photos, notes, etc.) may remain in our servers for technical reasons, but this material is disassociated from any personal identifiers and completely inaccessible to other users. Facebook also does not use content associated with accounts that have been deactivated or deleted.”

I discovered this little post by Alex Whinfield that just made me so happy.  I just know that it will make you happy too. It’s a “Seconds Ago” counter that uses the $UNIXTIMESTAMP php call to calculate a time since.  Works great and is very light. Get the code here.

Flowtown is a cool little tool that allows you in a strange little way to spam the heck out of your friends, family, colleagues and customers. Here’s the process:

1. Gather all the email addresses you can find.
2. Import those e-mail addresses into Flowtown, either one at a time or by connecting your Gmail address book, MailChimp account, or upload a CSV file.
3. Assign your e-mails to different groups
4. Click on the continue button.

Flowtown then generates a cool little profile page for each contact. The profile includes all the personal and work related information it could find all a variety of social networks.

Now that you have all the information you could ever need about people that likely didn’t mean to share it you, you can start you e-mail campaign right there and blast the dickens out of them. Good luck and happy spamming!

Don’t get too excited. You can try it for free but you’ll have to pay a monthly subscription to keep it.
