Dear people,
the rumor is not true!
Facebook will NOT shut down
So stop spreading it :D
It's FALSE
There's a silly rumor exploding on the Internet this weekend
alleging that Facebook is shutting down on March 15
because CEO Mark Zuckerberg "wants his old life back,"
and desires to "put an end to all the madness."
There is a confirmation from Facebook Director of Corporate Communications Larry Yu
that the rumor is false.
He responded,
"The answer is no, so please help us put an end to this silliness." He added, "We didn't get the memo about shutting down
and there's lots to do, so we'll just keep cranking away like always."
Let's think about this for a minute.
Would Facebook decide to shut down the company just a few days after announcing a round of funding,
consisting of $450 million from Goldman Sachs
and $50 million from Russian investment firm Digital Sky Technologies,
on a valuation of $50 billion?
The fact that this absurd hoax spread so efficiently makes us wonder:
Will people believe anything?
