You know, the one with all the drunk pics and sexist jokes on it? Yeah, that one. Not enough time to delete the offending tweets, but yet, you don’t want to delete the account entirely? There’s a new app for you to try.

Called “TwitWipe,” the application does pretty much what the name suggests: it deletes tweets. All of them, to be precise. From the description:

TwitWipe is a tool to wipe or delete all your tweets in one go. You may need to do this to start over, to clean it out before handing the account over to someone else, or maybe you’ve just realised how shitty your tweets are.

While the quality of your tweets is between you and your followers, such a tool would be quite useful to avoid potentially embarrassing situations like potential employers finding out you like to get really drunk and ran naked through your dorm, all while tweeting about your drunken escapades. Granted, it might be weird showing a completely blank Twitter account to these same employers, but still, at least the potential embarrassment has been removed.

As for how TwitWipe works, it’s not too complicated. Once you’ve authorized the service to access your Twitter account, the service does its thing and wipes your Twitter account clean. A description from the site:

Because TwitWipe is very popular, there are tooooooo many people wiping their accounts at any given point in time. So just start the process and just leave it on overnight. I’m serious. It is NOT instant. It will take a while. Don’t tell me it’s stuck at 0, because that happens and all you gotta do is WAIT.

If you get disconnected or any other shit happens, you can simply come back here and start wiping again. TwitWipe will resume from where it left off and delete whatever is remaining.

Apparently, there are some issues with retweets — the service suggests manually undoing retweets and running TwitWipe again — but if you check out the service’s Twitter account, things seem to be running smoothly. They even address some more technical issues:

@TwitWipe
TwitWipe@shantanoo the tweets are deleted instantly, but google’s cache and other repositories might hold on to them 1 day ago via Twitter for BlackBerry® · powered by @socialditto

Does such a service appeal to you? If so, what’s on your Twitter account that you’re so desperate to get rid of? Send me a link and I’ll let you know if you should delete all the tweets or not.

Today it was reported that the director is leaving the project over creative differences.

It’s being reported that Marvel Studios are talking with agencies as they begin the process of finding a new director. According to Deadline, “she’ll probably end up working on one of these superhero films, but perhaps not on a sequel.”

Marvel Studios will have to move fast in order to make their November 15, 2013 release.

Well today they’ve put out the largest national fast food daily deal – ever. The deal is a $13 voucher booklet, redeemable for five individual Big Macs and five individual large french fries. Snagging this deal will net you a savings of 50%.

According to Teter Sterling, Vice President of Marketing for McDonald’s, “Both LivingSocial members and McDonald’s customers are looking for delicious food at a great value, and this deal hits the sweet spot for both personal purchases and holiday gifts.”

@McDonalds
McDonald’sBest. Burger. Ever…Big Mac. Best. Deal. Ever…@LivingSocial. C http://t.co/s0BioD7C 4 info 1 hour ago via CoTweet · powered by @socialditto

At the time of this writing 67,557 of the voucher booklets had been sold. If you do the math, thats 337,785 Big Macs. That’s a lot of special sauce McDonald’s will be slinging around this holiday season.

A little FYI: each Big Mac contains 580 calories, couple that with large fries, you’re looking at 1,150 calories.

As I’m sure you can imagine, McDonald’s began receiving flak on Twitter questioning their quality of meat… you know, the usually. It got so bad that McDonald’s tweeted out the following, in attempt to stop some of the negativity:

It should be noted that purchasers of the deal will receive individual vouchers for each item, not one big voucher. So you won’t have to order the 5 Big macs & 5 large fries at one time… though we’re sure some of you will, I can see a Tumblr account coming out of this.

Kickoff is set for 8 PM EST tonight (November 30, 2011). It will be preceded by a charity event for LeBron’s Wheels for Education program.

LeBron, with the help from Dwayne Wade and Chris Paul, put out the following video promoting the event.

If you’re wondering how this event came to be, it started with with Kevin Durant playing an impromptu flag football game with a few Oklahoma State frat guys. By playing, we pretty much meant Durant pretty much dominated the game, throwing 4 touchdowns and accounting for 3 interceptions.

You can check out some of the action for yourself below:

Refusing to be shown up by his USA basketball teammate, LeBron James challenged Durant flag football game of his own:

@KingJames
LeBron James@KDTrey5 Team KD35 vs Team King James do I hear? Flag football. I have the best of field here in Akron. Day game or under the lights 29 days ago via Echofon · powered by @socialditto

Thus the “LeBron’s Flag Football Classic” was born. It’s unclear if Dwayne Wade and Chris Paul will be participating in the event, but we wouldn’t be surprised.
