Facebook Shutting Down?

Anyone else heard anything about this? That’s a lot of pictures to go and retrieve if it’s true. :thumbsdown:

[quote]PALO ALTO, CA –Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook will be shut down in May of 2013. Managing the site has become too stressful.

“Facebook has gotten out of control,” reportedly 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.”

Zuckerberg reportedly went on to explain that starting May 15th, users will no longer be able to access their Facebook accounts. That gives users (and Facebook addicts) a year to adjust to liwithout Facebook.

“After May 15th, 2013 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 after Facebook goes out of business.”

Zuckerberg said the decision to shut down Facebook was difficult, but that he does not think people will be upset.

“I personally don’t think it’s a big deal,” he said in a private phone interview to a source close to a friend. “And to be honest, I think it’s for the better. Without Facebook, people will have to go outside and make real friends. That’s always a good thing.”[/quote]

Never mind

:blush:

If only.
Just one wait, however.
Ground under foot, one of these daze.
Fakebook is an evil cult, and all shall have to do with their own mediocrity, when Bub comes unto town…

Heh, I was gonna say a listed company is not going to be so capricious.

How will I get my cat pictures?

Was that an old April Fool’s prank?

He he…It would be the same end result if Microsoft bought Facebook(like Hotmail)…it simply wouldn’t function properly,so nobody would be able to use it.
I will send you a Cat picture…book! TG. :slight_smile:

What a pity he didn’t actually say that.

With pictures like this?

Who could believe even for a moment a piece of news like this? Facebook is so successful and profitable that even of Zuckerberg and all his next of kin would die tomorrow and leave “shut FB down” written in their will, it would not happen!
