PALO ALTO, CA –Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook will be shut down in March. Managing the site has become too stressful.



“Facebook has gotten out of control,” said Zuckerberg in a press conference outside his Palo Alto office, “and the stress of managing this company has ruined my life. I need to put an end to all the madness.”



Zuckerberg went on to explain that starting March 15th, users will no longer be able to access their Facebook accounts.



“After March 15th the whole website shuts down,” said Avrat Humarthi, Vice President of Technical Affairs at Facebook. “So if you ever want to see your pictures again, I recommend you take them off the internet. You won’t be able to get them back once Facebook goes out of business.”



Zuckerberg said that the decision to shut down Facebook was difficult, but that he does not think people will be upset.



“I personally don’t think it’s a big deal,” he said in a private phone interview. “And to be honest, I think it’s for the better. Without Facebook, people will have to go outside and make real friends. That’s always a good thing.”



Some Facebook users were furious upon hearing the shocking news.



“What am I going to do without Facebook?” said Denise Bradshaw, a high school student from Indiana. “My life revolves around it. I’m on Facebook at least 10 hours a day. Now what am I going to do with all that free time?”



However, parents across the country have been experiencing a long anticipated sense of relief.



“I’m glad the Facebook nightmare is over,” said Jon Guttari, a single parent from Detroit. “Now my teenager’s face won’t be glued to a computer screen all day. Maybe I can even have a conversation with her.”



Those in the financial circuit are criticizing Zuckerberg for walking away from a multibillion dollar franchise. Facebook is currently ranked as one of the wealthiest businesses in the world, with economists estimating its value at around 7.9 billion.



But Zuckerberg remains unruffled by these accusations. He says he will stand by his decision to give Facebook the axe.



“I don’t care about the money,” said Zuckerberg. “I just want my old life back.”



The Facebook Corporation suggests that users remove all of their personal information from the website before March 15th. After that date, all photos, notes, links, and videos will be permanently erased.

Your source is another internet forum? Ha!! I'm going to take a wild guess here and say this ain't ever gonna happen.





I just shared it. I do not believe in it either but I'd like people here to investigate to see whether this is true or not. And btw, you said that my source is Internet. How the heck will I be able to bring you a reliable source rather than the internet on an online forum!
 
Well, this internet forum got it from an internet source Weeklyworldnews. I edited the link here for it. Check it out and do not guess wildly!

No, this is not true, and this is a re-run of a joke that went around on Facebook months and months ago.

Weekly World News is basically a satire tabloid that takes itself too seriously. Not a legitimate source by any means - they always run stupid B.S.



If you've watched the news actually - Facebook is gearing up for an IPO, they're being capitalised as we speak. They're becoming only a larger juggernaut than anything else. No, Facebook won't be going away anytime soon.

You would be surprised how many people will pass that on, as well as the email that says that Bill Gates is sharing his fortune, and that Exxon and Pepsi are giving away a Lexus or something, and the Test of a Mother's True Angel's Friendship Blessing and never think twice about it.
 
Shame they had to announce it was a hoax. I know several people who I was hoping would believe it and delete everything!

Lol @ this.



Facebook is Mark Zuckerburg's life. Its mostly all he cares about. It's his child, and he is devoted to making sure it doesn't succumb to the fate of myspace, friendster, etc.
 
I had a feeling this is a load of crap. That would be crazy! I know there was one site someone gave me a while back where you can check if stories like this were true or not, but I can't remember the link. I think it was snopes.com or something along those lines.
