Facebook NOT Shutting Down

Relax. You will still be able to be informed that your best friend found $12 in the wash and your great Aunt Tootsie likes your status update of “I love mojitos and pool boys.”

A rumor that started at the hands of The Weekly World News stated that Mark Zuckerberg wants his “old life back” has ever Facebook fiend preparing for the Y2K of the social network. Rumors are that the service will shut down on March 15. Combine that BS with CNN’s published opinion piece by Goldman Sachs on the “beginning of the end” for Facebook…you have a rumor that will spread like Paris Hilton.

It’s another hoax. The site, which recently eclipsed Google, faced a smiliar shutdown rumor in 2007. The previous hoax sourced a bandwidth problem for the for the end of Facebook.
