Facebook is not shutting down, it is not closing and you do not have to worry about saving all your information or losing all your online friends.

Mark Zuckerberg reportedly said outside Facebook's offices:

“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.”

“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.”


This is not true, it is just a rumor and Facebook will still be fine after March 15 2011. 

Not sure how this rumor got started....

this is just a rumour ppl. its not gonna shut down. and facebook does not break up families, it sometimes helps you get in contact with them, ppl whom you havent seen or heard from in years. so it can be a good thing at times, but maybe also a bad thing. i have had the good experience\
