Facebook Prank Causes Worldwide Panic

It all began on January 9th. Panic spread across the net and many Facebook users began downloading their photographs from the site before they were lost. Meanwhile, other users  were busy exploring their options. Where would they go? MySpace? Twitter. Once Facebook bit the dust they would need a replacement. Except Facebook was not and is not going anywhere, the panic had been caused by a spoof article posted on The Weekly World News Website that stated that Facebook would shut down on March 15th: Facebook Shutting Down? That’s About as Likely as Martians Putting Down!
