According to some sites and latest updates of Jan 8, 2011 Facebook is going to end in March 15th, 2011; users will no longer be able to access their Facebook accounts says Zuckerberg, the Facebook CEO. However, the FB staffers respond that they are not circulated regarding this so will continue to work.
“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.”
According to WeeklyWorldNews.com; Facebook will end on March 15th based on Zuckerberg’s press conference but the truth regarding the same has yet to be verified. This has created hoax and people are twitting about the same, some are even making groups to not to take such actions for FB team.
We have been reading and hearing the Facebook shutting down rumors since 2007; with frequent such updates time to time. However, Facebook has dismissed rumors that the site is shutting down, after millions of its users got panicked.
