Persona Aims To Clean Up Social Profiles

In a bid to clean up all those social media posts you regret from late night college drinking binges, a Seattle-based startup, Persona, said today that it has launched a new tool to clean up their social media profile. The startup--founded by Lee Sherman--said it is looking to help new graduates remove those regrettable posts they put on Facebook when they were in college, as they realize that employers are frowning upon those posts when considering new employees. The startup said that the service helps flag potentially offensive posts and photos for users, and lets them delete them directly from such services as Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. Persona is offering up the new service in two flavors; one which only looks at text for $19.99 a year, and another which also looks at photos for $29.99 a year.
