Kabar mengejutkan datang dari Mark Zuckerberg. Pendiri situs jejaring sosial terbesar di dunia ini mengumumkan akan menutup Facebook bulan Maret 2011 ini. Mengelola Facebook membuat stress, begitu salah satu alasan Zuckerberg, salah satu anak muda terkaya di dunia, untuk menutup Facebook. “Facebook berjalan di luar kendali,” kata Zuckerberg dalam jumpa pers di kantornya, Palo Alto, Amerika Serikat.
“Stres mengelola perusahaan ini telah membuat hidupku menderita,” kata anak muda yang tidak peduli dengan uang ini. “Saya harus mengakhiri semua kesulitan ini,” katanya seperti dikutip Weeklywrdnews.com Zuckerberg menjelaskan, mulai 15 Maret 2011, pengguna Facebook tidak bisa lagi mengakses akun Facebook-nya. “Setelah 15 Maret, seluruh website (Facebook) akan ditutup,” tambah Avrat Humarthi, Vice President of Technical Affairs Facebook.

Sehubungan dengan rencana penutupan Facebook tersebut mulailah dari sekarang untuk membackup data seperti kontak alamat teman-teman Anda, arsip foto-foto di Album Facebook Anda juga catatan-catatan penting yang pernah Anda buat dan simpan di Facebook mulai sekarang.

Sungguh langka sosok seperti Zuckerberg ini, disaaat bisnisnya sedang mencapai masa keemasan (puncak) justru malah berencana untuk ditutup hanya dengan alasan semua ini tidak membuatnya merasa nyaman, suatu idealisme yang susah dicari di jaman serba materialis seperti sekarang ini. (Sumber)

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.
