#2I'd love to be able to hit the reset button on my FB profile, undo all the profiling they've done on me and start again. Same thing for Google. What does it look like to be a vanilla user?

Well, with respect to Google search, you can just use an incognito window.

#4Just a very tangential point to the post, but the author mentioned a FB employee trying to connect him with the PR department. Exactly what does FB have in mind in doing that?

One of the jobs of the PR department is to fill in reporters with details about the company's activities.

#6I was thinking of a way to destroy my facebook account because you can't actually delete it, this is pretty much it, like everything. Also I guess you could check-in every where at once all the time.
I didn't think about the collateral damage it could cause to others, which is to bombard your "friend's feeds". This is also interesting because, well you can destory facebook in this manner. If enough people are peeing in the pool, people are going to get out.
Maybe I should write a greasemonkey script to accomplish just that. Not that I want to destroy facebook, but that if i wanted to destroy my data this would be the way because facebook doesn't give me that option.
Also does everyone else think it's creepy when your friends stop using facebook and old "likes" pop up on your feed to make it look like that user hasn't left?

Only up to the limits of Google being able to track you anyway. There's IP address, user agent, and any other HTTP header information your browser leaks.

You can. At least, this seemed to work effectively for me:

#10I'm so put off by Facebook that I'm even put off by articles describing how one is put off by Facebook.
Full disclosure - I closed my account 2 years ago. Did not miss it even for 10 seconds.
