For those who tweet too much when they drink, an iPhone can be a dangerous accessory. Enter "Last Night Never Happened," an app that, with one click, erases all your tweets and Facebook posts for whatever chunk of time you specify. 22-Seeds, the company behind the innovation, says iPhone users need such a "morning-after app" since they're 27 percent more likely to humiliate themselves online than the desktop-bound. Is it safe to bring your iPhone to the bar again?
Where has this app been all my life? Finally, a solution after "several long, MySpace/Twitter/Facebook faux pas-riddled years!" says Maressa Brown in The Stir. The app isn't perfect — it doesn't, for example, delete Facebook status updates, the one area where I most need damage control — but having an "insurance policy for your social media life" is just "incredibly useful overall."
