IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED,
FACEBOOK WILL END ON
JANUARY 15th, 2013! Mark Zuckerberg announced
that Facebook will be shut down
in January of 2013. Managing
the site has become too
stressful. “Facebook has gotten
out of control,” reportedly 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 reportedly went on
to explain that starting
January15th, users will no
longer be able to access their
Facebook accounts. That gives
users (and Facebook addicts)a year to adjust to live without
Facebook. “After January 15th, 2013
the
whole Facebook website will
shut 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 offthe internet.
You won’t be able to get them
back after Facebook goes out of business.” Zuckerberg said 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 to a source close to a
friend. “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.
