Damn! You got my hopes up.

Who ever believes this is quite dumb. It was created by 4chan, but the fact that they tried to start this right after Facebook raised $500 million in funding...dumb.

lmao, just reading the "shut down" article is enough for anyone to know it's a hoax.

Things are changing for them, they are bumping up against some limits which allows them to keep certain financial data private.. That was last week in the news, I did not pay too much attention to it.

Totally off topic but... I checked out myspace.com for the first time in ages, and was actually quite impressed with the new layout , didn't look far into it though.

You will not believe the design once you log in. Its actually good. 10x better than the old myspace. The problem is that there's an overkill of coding - I'm not sure which one, tho; javascript, jquary, php, etc. Its suicide for ancient PC's

I never heard this rumor but I wouldn't have believed it before anyways.
Imagine if Facebook did close down though. Who would takeover? Twitter?

Not twitter, but something will replace it.

Facebook never Die...

 

[Savvy]

That what I thought about MySpace but eventually it will die out and new social network will takeover.

Facebook looks like the new google or the new microsoft from where I sit....so I don't think it will just die off.

oh geeze...I remember when people were sending out tons of chain mails on facebook over and over again talking about, "Facebook is going to shutdown on such and such date, do this to stop it!" or "Facebook is going to start charging, do this to stop them!". Utter nonsense.

Quite so. Facebook has just been valued at $50bn, why on Earth would they change what they are doing?

Exactly. That would be like purchasing an established forum software company and changing what has worked very well for the past 10 years.

Right, and who in their right mind would do that?
