Well, if you've read this article, you probably thought it was true. That our favorite social networking site Facebook will be closing down on March 15, 2011.
It's funny reading some people on my Facebook News Feed page posting about this and actually believing it's true. There were even comments like "Oh my, the world's really going to end in 2012!" Hahahaha. Like, c'mon! Facebook has over 500,000 million users and with hundreds of millions of dollars of earnings, I doubt they're shutting down anytime soon.
The article on Weekly World News got a lot of people alarmed all over the world. I can't really blame them because the site looked legit. Well, except for that logo of a gremlin or something on their header. *LOL*
Weekly World News is a satirical news site, just like The Onion. So, don't expect anything true being posted there. But, I love reading websites like them 'cause it really makes me laugh.
In this millennium, in the year 2011, in the era of the iPad, Galaxy Tab, mini-computing and the industrial computer, I can't believe that there are still people who easily fall for these hoaxes. Well, I guess it was because of the delivery. The writers of these satirical news websites are really convincing. That's why their sites are fun and effective. ^_^
So, there. the news that Facebook will end on March 15, 2011 is a HOAX. No need to switch back to Friendster. *LOL*
