False Rumor : Facebook shutting down on March 15



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?
