The "Zuckerberg wants to shut down Facebook on March 15, 2011" Viral Hoax

I knew it was a hoax before I even re-posted it on TechEncounter hence the non-edited article and courtesy.

The purpose of why I re-posted the "Zuckerberg wants to shut down Facebook on March 15, 2011" viral hoax was to see how Facebook users would react to having their online social life go down the drain if Facebook would go offline.

In just a couple of minutes, reactions would start arriving. People started sharing the post and "worried" over the possibility of losing their online life on Facebook. Others had more common sense and did some research only to take a sigh of relief in knowing it was just a hoax. LOL!

With a membership of 600million, Zuckerberg aims to turn Facebook into the world's standardized communication and marketing platform, as universal and intuitive as the telephone but far more interactive, multidimensional and indispensable. And at a company estimated worth of over $50 billion and growing, who, in his right mind, would shut down such a booming business? On the other hand, $50 billion seems just quite right to retire...

What would you do if it was true that Zuckerberg did want to shut down Facebook on March 15,2011?
