Facebook Shutting Down On March 15, 2011: Big Hoax

Yesterday I was stoned when I've read something from a blog that Facebook is closing down on March 15 of this year. And it's so believable when you read the source of the news from a website that I don't want to link here. He even quotes the CEO of facebook, Mark Zuckerberg. The article even says something like you have to save all your photos in a safe place because you can't get all of them when facebook shuts down on March 15. It's so alarming.
Thanks to Mashable who cleared all this issue in CNN today.
Facebook shutting down on March 15 is a hoax.
Facebook Director of Corporate Communications Larry Yu confirmed that this is all silliness. He said this is so impossible after days of announcing a round of funding including a $50M funding from a telecommunications firm in Russia and another $450M from Goldman Sachs, rounding up to $50 billion dollars. He says, they didn't get any memos about shutting down and there's so much to do.I think that the hosting of the site who started this madness have not even been reviewed by hostmonster reviews. So if you happen to read this, please spread the word that facebook shutting down is purely rumor and silliness.

With all the popularity of this social networking site, they will not afford to shut it down.
