PALO ALTO, CA –Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook will be shut down in March. Managing the site has become too stressful.
“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.”
Zuckerberg went on to explain that starting March 15th, users will no longer be able to access their Facebook accounts.
“After March 15th 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 once Facebook goes out of business.”
Zuckerberg said that 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. “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.”
Some Facebook users were furious upon hearing the shocking news.
“What am I going to do without Facebook?” said Denise Bradshaw, a high school student from Indiana. “My life revolves around it. I’m on Facebook at least 10 hours a day. Now what am I going to do with all that free time?”
However, parents across the country have been experiencing a long anticipated sense of relief.
“I’m glad the Facebook nightmare is over,” said Jon Guttari, a single parent from Detroit. “Now my teenager’s face won’t be glued to a computer screen all day. Maybe I can even have a conversation with her.”
Those in the financial circuit are criticizing Zuckerberg for walking away from a multibillion dollar franchise. Facebook is currently ranked as one of the wealthiest businesses in the world, with economists estimating its value at around 7.9 billion.
But Zuckerberg remains unruffled by these accusations. He says he will stand by his decision to give Facebook the axe.
“I don’t care about the money,” said Zuckerberg. “I just want my old life back.”
The Facebook Corporation suggests that users remove all of their personal information from the website before March 15th. After that date, all photos, notes, links, and videos will be permanently erased.

ReplyDeleteKwa manufaa ya watumiaji wa internet, kuna mambo mengi tu yanatoka kama taarifa za uzushi hii ikiwa miongoni mwao. Kitu cha msingi ni kuichuja akilini na baada ya hapo unaweza kuigoogle ukifuatia neno HOAX ambalo ni neno linalosimama kama habari za uzushi kwenye mtandao. Feedback utakazopata kutoka google au search engine yoyote zitakujulisha kama hiyo habari ni uzushi ama ni ya kweli. Mfano hii habari nilipoiona kitu cha kwanza niliitafutia ukweli katika hii site: http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/302361

ReplyDeleteAsante!
There’s a silly rumor exploding on the Internet this weekend, alleging that Facebook is shutting down on March 15 because CEO Mark Zuckerberg “wants his old life back,” and desires to “put an end to all the madness.”
ReplyDelete[UPDATE] We have official confirmation from Facebook Director of Corporate Communications Larry Yu that the rumor is false. We asked him via e-mail if Facebook was shutting down on March 15, to which he responded, “The answer is no, so please help us put an end to this silliness.” He added, “We didn’t get the memo about shutting down and there’s lots to do, so we’ll just keep cranking away like always.”
Let’s think about this for a minute. Would Facebook decide to shut down the company just a few days after announcing a round of funding, consisting of $450 million from Goldman Sachs and $50 million from Russian investment firm Digital Sky Technologies, on a valuation of $50 billion?
The spurious report was started by a site to which we refuse to link, known for its reports of impending attacks of alien spaceships and false reports of a Michelle Obama pregnancy.
The fact that this absurd hoax spread so efficiently makes us wonder:
Will people believe anything

hawa naona sasa kama wanataka kugomewa na wao kwani kunani jamani?
ReplyDeleterumor noting like dat. Y'all go crazy about fb. if they want to shut dowm someone will buy cause it worth more 50billion as today. And when people said it ruins people relationship they didn't ask to put your dirty laundry outthere you did it 2 yo'self stop complaing and say is fb.
ReplyDeletehaaaaaaaaa.....utoto mtupu....michu angaliaga na wewe mmmhhh
ReplyDeleteNdugu two investors goldmansach & Russian tycoon wame invest na kufanya facebook kuwa na thamani ya 50 Billion.Na kwa hiyo face book inabidi hiende public.Kama haipendi basi ndio time ya kuiuza.
ReplyDeleteIla siondoi shuku kuwa inawezekana, maana mwaka jana alipigwa na alipelekwa mahakamani mara kadhaa na hizo lawsuite huwenda zime zidi.Ndio maana inabidi aiuze.
Ma oni ya wataalam wengi kuwa ita collapse maana big investment kwenye sehemu tu ya watu kuandika na kuweka picha zao sio investment ya kudumu.
