This week's internet reviews

Web 2.0 Suicide Machine We seem to be in thrall to social networking sites such as Twitter, MySpace and Facebook, but what happens if we want to cut ourselves off from this brave new world – unfriend our fake mates and start spending some time talking (well sending text messages) to our real ones? Permanently signing off from these sites is a time consuming and complicated business, which is why many accounts merely wither, unloved, unfriended and unvisited. The Web 2.0 Suicide Machine provides a dignified end for those seeking to terminate their online identities. With some final, fitting words and just a couple of keystrokes, you can watch your online life disappear before your eyes. Not that the sites themselves are too happy about this virtual euthanasia; Facebook recently served them with a rather chilling cease and desist order. Nerd Boyfriend There are thousands of blogs and websites dedicated to fashion and style, but relatively few address the sartorial difficulties of a) being male and b) being a male who isn't really interested in fashion. Nerd Boyfriend's approach is refreshingly original, compelling and impressive: instead of models, the site features photographs of nerdish film stars, authors and other male icons of a more bookish bent and sources online stores selling similar clothes to the ones being worn in the pictures. They date from vintage snaps of Jack Lemmon and Steve Martin right up to contemporary nerd pin-ups like Stephen Merchant and Jarvis Cocker.
