The end of Facebook?

As I read this discussion, I am watching Saturday Night Live, and the Weekend Update has just made a diss about Facebook shutting down this march. Apparently, Mark Zuckerberg wants his old life back! The lonely, poor, nerd life! What would we all do if FB shut down? I guess we'll all go back outside and do something active instead of just sitting in front of the computer. And what's terrible is that we might all have a healthier, normal lives. What a horror!

i dont think mark is boring and tired of addiction maybe he is tired get much money,.. tired because so famous

I would be bummed! I have so many pictures on there and have made some friends. Even found afew old acquaintances. I also take my breaks from writing and research on Facebook. Pogo is about the only place that has as fun and interesting games as Facebook does. It has a lot of things that other sites don't have. I hope it is all just a hoax.

We all know it's bull. Facebook has made him rick beyond his wildest dreams. Only a total idiot would shut down the goose that lays golden eggs.

hello boxxerdude! I also have heard of that news that facebook will be shutting down. I think that's not true and people will really be sad if facebook will be gone cause most people reunite in facebook. Well, there can be other social networking sites but friends you have reunited with that site is different from other sites as well. Most people depend on facebook nowadays. It's their way to communicate to their long lost friends and relatives. Plus it gives us time to earn also while having fun with interaction with others. It's a way to get us all together.

I don't think it's true. If Mark Zuckerberg wants to retire from Facebook, he can always sell it to another management. I'm sure there are many people waiting to take over Facebook. Why want to shut it down when he could make millions by selling it?

i'm not really addicted to facebook... in fact, i'm not even using it everyday... so if it does really shut down, it doesn't affect me very much... but i won't hope it will be closed because it will affect so many people who use it... take care and have a nice day...

Do you know who started this story in the first place? It was a well-known publication called, "Weekly World News", who call themselves, "The Worlds ONLY reliable newspaper." They're famous for pieces like Bat Boy coming to life, Saddam and Osmama having a homosexual relationship with eachother, aliens controling our governments, including photos of aliens talking to top politicians, and all sorts of pieces like that... one of my favorites was, "Computer Virus Spreads to Humans!" from back in the late 90s... My point is, that newspaper is BS! Facebook is not going to shut down... EVER!

Facebook management cleared about the issue and they are not shutting down. There are cases faces of the CEO of facebook but it doesn't mean they shutdown the site. Well, if they shutdown facebook. I can't do nothing because it's their prerogative to stop that site. But I do believe that they are not shutting down that site. Those news is a false alarm because there are people that envious due to the success of the site...

I don't know, but i believe it is going to take a lot for facebook to shut down. For it's one of the top social networking sites. I don't really care if it does shut down, i am an active member but i am not like i need it types. I would give my email id to all my friends to keep in touch before they shut down. In fact, i would be happy if they shut down because they really cause a lot of trouble at times. It would be interesting if the facebook guys read this post. I don't care for facebook, i was once addicted to it, but i want it to shut down.

Hi boxxerdude, Well this is sad news, but not sure if it will be true, unless we wait till march. I have all good and bad with facebook, but it was always a best favorite site for me. So wish it should continue long without issues. Enjoy mylotting Cheers!

Hi dear, It won’ make much difference to me. I am not so mad with facebook also. Also, if the management is planning to shut down the site, they will come up with something else still a better one, no doubt. Also, nothing to worry, there are other similar site which provides the same utilities. Only the look and appearance are different. I think those who have an id on facebook are holding similar ids with other community sites also. They will simply transfer to the other one, which they will feel the most appropriate. Regards, Thank-s

I'm not sure what I would do. Maybe I would start using my Myspace account, but I don't have many friends there and I like facebook so much better. I would probably just not do anything and interact with my friends on a face to face or phone basis rather than internet. I do use IM occasionally, but again not many friends on there either.

If facebook will be shutted down. My life will be over. No joke. And I don't think that people would allow Mark Zuckerberg to shut down facebook..lol ;)

I have panicked when I've first heard of this myth. Me and my friends discussed about this immediately and all agreed that they wouldn't sell something that giving them so much money. Plus they can always hire people to administrate facebook. Anyway, I'm really glad when my husband told me that it was plain rumor since he have read the real deal in the news. I think people will go gaga and protest if they are really shutting down. As for me I will be sad since I visit facebook regularly to read the news feed from my friends and to play. I think I will try to find an alternative social networking site if ever that would happen.

Facebook is not going anywhere, and Mark Zuckerberg pretty much has other people deal with it now. Even if the people who are running Facebook now did not want to run it any longer they would end up selling it, they could get billions of dollars for it and someone else would surely take it over and run it. Facebook is not going anywhere although there are competitors who wish it would.

i already heard and read some articles about facebook's shutting down, according to the article that i've read it will be happening on the 15th day of march this year.. but for me i don't believe this it's just a rumors... and rumors are rumors...

Hey, if Mark Zuckerberg tired of social networking, someone else still want to do it. He doesn't want to make money, someone else will. People aren't tired of social networking or contacting people, or leave comment on facebook or similar sites. We still interact with each other on the internet. If he doesn't want to do it, someone will. It won't be the end of the social network, as you will know it.

Hi, I personally do not see facebook shutting down any time soon. But if it were shut down, I would simply move on. No sense of crying over spilt milk. Someone will come up with another way to attract the internet masses.
