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.
FUH! Lepas ni mesti semua orang akan sunyi...dan yang pasti Friendster dan Myspace akan kembali aktif. Hurrm...ada kesan ka dengan aku?? To be frank...for sure ada kesan..mungkin tidak banyak,tapi serba sedikit akan menggangu sistem kehidupan aku yang banyak menghabiskan masa berfacebooking berbanding lepak2 di luar. Lepas ni terpaksa la main game yang ada di HP sahaja. No more games on FB.
Tapi, dalam banyak² ayat si Zukerberg ni, aku rasa mau ketawa guling² bila terbaca “I don’t care about the money,” said Zuckerberg. “I just want my old life back.”... Ayat "I JUST WANT MY OLD LIFE BACK " tu mengingatkan aku pada seorang kawan yang berkepala memang agak gila a.k.a sewel. Aku pernah cerita² dan konon² meluahkan perasaan sedihku padanya. Ya, dia memang seorang pendengar yang baik dan seorang yang mampu menghilangkan stress dan kesedihan aku. Aku pernah cakap dengan dia sebijik yang si Zuckerberg tu cakap, dan dia menjawab " NAH...KENAPA KAU NDAK MINTAK DENGAN SANTA CLAUS HARI TU TIME KRISMAS".. aku yang konon² sedih time tu terus ndak terkata apa, langsung aku ketawa terbahak-bahak. Bangang punya kawan. Aku punyalah serius meluahkan kesedihan kepadanya dia boleh jawab macam tu. Serius lepas tu, tension dan kesedihan aku LESAP. Terima kasih kawan..kerana ko sentiasa buat aku Happy. Aku sayang kau..:D
Apapun, mari kita sama-sama tunggu dan lihat, apa akan jadi pada kehidupan manusia² zaman sekarang ini yang terlalu addict dengan Facebook selepas ketiadaan Facebook bermula March nanti.
nota kaki tangan dan mulut: yang pasti...Blog aku akan tetap beroperasi..
