Project "Friendfracker" Friendfracker is a service that automatically deletes a set of friends from your Facebook account. Upon authenticating your data on the website, the service deletes 1 to 10 friends at random. The project was developed with Harper Reed in one day for Rhizome's 7 on 7 conference. Note: facebook disabled the API key for the project on April 25, 2013. Q: Will friendfracker protect my privacy? A: Yes, the service uses facebook's standard authentication and security. We do not get access to your password or private information. Q: How do I know which friends were deleted?
