Facebook Shutting Down on March 15th?

poa9C-76FThis rumor is spreading all across the web that facebook would shut down its operations on March 15, 2011.

This news initiated from Twitter and later on got published on various blogs and news websites. The source mentioned everywhere is a press conference conducted by March Mark Zuckerberg outside his Palo Alto office.

Zuckerberg was quoted as “Facebook has gotten out of control, 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.

Not only this, there are comments of Vice President of Technical Affairs at Facebook “Mr. Avrat Humarthi” as well saying After March 15th the whole website shuts down, 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”.

The news quite obviously seems a rumor, since Mark himself is fond of posting such astounding things on his Facebook page, as last time we saw the Time Magazine update on his page.

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

The way different sources have posted his “I Don’t Care attitude” about the billions of money he is earning from Facebook does not give a very realistic picture. The truth on the other hand is that it is not at all easy to wind up such immensely growing business. The website with over 500 million active users no doubt looks difficult to manage, but instead of shutting it down every sane would definitely think of selling it out to get max benefit possible.

Anyhow, 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.

  • Yeah, guys this is true.

    Facebook is shutting down.
    Microsoft has decided to make potato peelers.
    Yahoo has started scuba diving lessons
    Hotmail has opened a milkshop

    because their management has realized that all these Billions of dollars are just too much…….
    they want their old lives and their families back

    Please pass this on to friends that you think are close to you, else bad things will happen to you and you will become a potato…….

    Seriously guys: Its invigorating and fun to listen to this kind of stuff once in a while but not from something as decent as propakistani!

  • We dont no that it is a fake or true but there is one truth that Facebook should be banned in Pak, b’coz they insulted our Prophet.

  • Facebook denied an Internet rumor claiming that the network would close its operations on March 15 because its chairman Mark Zuckerberg said the site “was out of control. ”
    Facebook refuses to be shut down in March

    In its wall, the company wrote: “We do not get the memo on our end and we’ll keep working. We’re not going anywhere, we are just beginning. ”

    Although many people wondered if the rumor was true, several technology blogs were quick to point out that it was “unlikely” especially after having received millions of dollars of private investment.

  • Can’t believe Pakistan’s ‘most authentic’ tech blog can post this :(

    Writer is either fool or this is a lame effort to target key-phrase ‘Facebook Shutting Down on March 15th’.

    Don’t ruin your credibility guys.

  • Band ho hi jae to acha hay…

  • Why would you post something like this if it’s just a rumor: “Anyhow, 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.”

    Shame on you for posting false information and idiotic rumors without verification. Here’s the real story: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-20027960-71.html
