“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.

I DONT THINK IT SHOULD GO OFF DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS A GREAT SOCIAL TOOL FOR ADULTS..SOME PEOPLE DONT GET TO GET OUT MUCH AND THIS IS HOW THEY COMMUNICATE WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD.PUT SOME LIMITATIONS ON IT LIKE AGE RANGES AND ETC...BUT KEEP IT ALIVE..FOR SOME OF THE YOUTH IT SHOWS THEM THAT IF YOU CAN COME UP WITH SOMTHING AS GOOD AS THIS AND MAKE BILLIONS..IT ENCOURAGES THEM TO PUT THEIR MINDS TO SOMETHING AND ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN
This cannot happen, i have reconnected with long lost family and life long friends thru Facebook, please say it ain't so?
WeLl some things have to end ya now I dnt blame the guy
Mark, you should have been a more responsible adult due to your affiliation. Why the hell would you start something that you cannot finish anyway.? If it's so called ruining your life; then maybe it was ruined from the very start! OMG, such an over achiever ;( piss off why don't ya!

OMG..WTF R U DOING?THIS IS TERRIBLE..NO!NO!NO!U CANT!!!
he would just sell it to another company to let them deal with the hassle. could this mean fb is going to become an advertising hot spot even more so than now? hmmmmmm??? too much money to be lost, i wouldnt be surprised if he already has offers on the table.

This is Bull Shit, If he doesnt want the business anymore, then put it up for sale. Im sure someone will buy it and make the money he doesn't want!!!!
They. Made a rumor like this last year smh, ppl don't have shit else to do but to make shit up
u better not shut down facebook alot of ppl use this to talk to family like me so plz dont delete plus ur makin more money then bill gates
facebook has reconnected me with alot of my old friends and family. understanding that people need to get out and socialize more but for everybody that is just not possible. over the yeas that fb has been available some messed up things have happened buttttttt................................... mark i really think you should really think about this
Whoever believes in this must be really, really stupid.
I doubt that FB would shut down for good. Im sure there are so many investors who would love to buy his rights to FB. As if he's really gonna have his old life back. Dude please. I say don't believe the hype!
Bet Tom from Myspace will like that!
I THINK IF U CANT HANDLE IT U SHOULD SELL IT TO ME OR SOME OTHER RESPONSABLE ADULT, LET SOMEONE ELSE MAKE MILLIONS IF U DONT WANT IT
Dude I use Facebook to communicate with family out of state that I don't see often. Put it up for sell first before shutting down. PLEASE!!!!
its not shutting down its a hoax.. somethin like facebook shutting down would be all over the news on tv and on the news channels websites.. also even if he was tired of dealing wit the stress of facebook.. why not sell it? or make himself a silent partner n let someone else run it while he sits back and still collects at least some money.. this is not real..
Don't be stupid everyone this is a marketing ploy if he called it quits he would sell the company. Also you can connect with these people from your facebook through this thing called email or that new thing that just came out called a telephone.
I hope Facebook ends. People should have better things to do than post a bunch of bullshit on the web. SO LONG Facebook!!
