  1. How Account Deletion Should Be Handled

    Earlier today I deleted my Dopplr account. The sad truth is that I never found the need for such a service. I’m not one to leave inactive accounts rotting in a perpetual cyberspace limbo, so I deleted my account.

    Upon account deletion I promptly received the following email:

    Dopplr Email Confirmation

    This is exactly how account deletion should be handled.

    1. Promptly delete my account when I ask.
    2. Send me a confirmation email.
    3. Give me the option of backing up all of my old data.

    Kudos are in store for the Dopplr Team.
