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..

So ? Any comment you guys ? X tahu la macam mana nk cakap... mungkin ramai yang akan stress, or maybe penggunaan atau langganan broadband akan berkurangan nanti. Namun, semuanya dipihak kita.
Sebelum terlambat, kepada Mark Zurkerberg yang membaca comment saya ni.. saya nk ucapkan terima kasih banyak2 sebab mengajar saya dalam bidang networking. Saya akui, memang stress handle benda2 ni.. tapi, saya terkilan dengan Sifu (Mark Zurkerberg) kerana mengundur diri terlampau awal.. adakah Mark Zurkerberg memilih Dato' Misbun Sidek sebagai idol ? Huhuhu.. Anyway, saya terkilan bukan sebab Zack (panggilan mesra kami je, kan dah kantoi.. sorry Mark Zuckerberg) menutup web facebook menyebab saya xdapat berinteraksi lagi.. tapi sebab Zack telah membuatkan saya kehilangan pesaing nanti.. dah lupe ke, tempoh 10 tahun lagi, Malaysia akan mengeluarkan Laman Komuniti tersendiri ??? Dan itu akan melawan page Facebook sendiri.. Kagum gak, tgk Zack bagi ucapan pasal facebook.. time saya duduk dalam kuliah tu, sambil mendengar Zack berucap pasal facebook, kagum tu.. hehe.. usia kita x jauh beza, tapi keazaman Zack dah tinggi.. jeles ni taw.. hehehe..
Walau macam mana pun... Zack teruskan hasrat Zack tu.. saya x halang.. thanx sebab bagi ilmu dalam mendalami bidang Laman Komuniti.. Ada masa n peluang, Zack pula yang dengar saya bagi ucapan.. hehe.... tapi Zack kene belajar bahasa Malaysia la.. sabar ae.. Masa masih ade, saya akan usaha lagi.... Zack, Count The pages.... huhu...
