Jan 9, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The Internet has been flooded with rumors lately that Facebook is about to shut down. Facebook fans were seized with panic as they continued to search endlessly all over the Internet to confirm whether the rumor was true or not.

No doubt Facebook is one of the most popular social networking sites and it never ceases to amuse its users with the varied applications and facilities. According to reports, on Saturday night the Internet saw thousands of people searching the net for one particular answer. The rumor shot up after somebody reported of a blog that bore the message from Facebook founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg that he had arrived at the decision to close the site. Reportedly, the CEO issued a statement which indicated how fatigued his life had become, all in an attempt to manage the popular site. Since the management of the site had become troublesome for him and was completely out of control, he wanted to put an end to it.
