    UPDATE!!

    There’s a silly rumor exploding on the Internet this weekend, alleging that Facebook is shutting down on March 15 because CEO Mark Zuckerberg “wants his old life back,” and desires to “put an end to all the madness.”

    [UPDATE] We have official confirmation from Facebook Director of Corporate Communications Larry Yu that the rumor is false. We asked him via e-mail if Facebook was shutting down on March 15, to which he responded, “The answer is no, so please help us put an end to this silliness.” He added, “We didn’t get the memo about shutting down and there’s lots to do, so we’ll just keep cranking away like always.”

    Let’s think about this for a minute. Would Facebook decide to shut down the company just a few days after announcing a round of funding, consisting of $450 million from Goldman Sachs and $50 million from Russian investment firm Digital Sky Technologies, on a valuation of $50 billion?

    The spurious report was started by a site to which we refuse to link, known for its reports of impending attacks of alien spaceships and false reports of a Michelle Obama pregnancy.

    The fact that this absurd hoax spread so efficiently makes us wonder: Will people believe anything?

    Goldman Sachs, the legendary Wall Street bank, actually has a stake in the privately owned Facebook. They are also allowing some of their TOP CLIENTS to invest in as well but not more than 250. Cause if there are more than 250 investors even for a private company, they have to start reporting to the SEC which of course they want to avoid...

    There is also rumor that they might go public in the future. If they do, this will be the biggest and most anticipated technology IPO since Google back in 2004...

    tidus, you mean 500 shareholders

    a private company in the US can only have 499 shareholders max

    pag nag 500, the company will have to go public
