Need to clean up your Facebook profile? Get a FaceWash
Got a Facebook profile with vulgarities or embarrassing pages you shouldn't have liked? Now there's a way to clean them up.
A trio of Kent State University undergrads have put together the FaceWash web app that'll search through a user's Facebook activity and content for items that the user may want to hide or delete. That could include status updates, photo captions, and comments users left or received as well as pages and links that were liked.
"We realised that there's a lot of content that perhaps someone might not want a future employer to see," said creator Daniel Gur.
Gur, 22, created the app over the weekend with two friends and fellow computer science majors from his school — Camden Fullmer, 21, and David Steinberg, 24. The three students built FaceWash in less than two days while at a hack-a-thon at the University of Pennsylvania.
To use FaceWash, users first need to go to its website, Facewa.sh, click "Get Started" and log into their Facebook account if they aren't logged in already.
