    Well there are rumors that FB is going to shut down forever on March 15th of this year. I personally think its a load of bunk but some people believe it. Well it seems as I was typing this Yahoo and PCMag.com has confirmed that FB is not shutting down, making this thread irrelevant. I'm still posting anyway.

    LOL! The day it closes is the day millions of people go insane because they can not post daily pictures of themselves and spam other people with friend invites.

    Don't act like you don't know! The government has finally found out that it was a communist plot to brainwash the American populace and finally win the cold war.

    goldman sachs just invested 500 million..for a fraction of FB stock. Goldmans is also selling the stock to the very rich private investors atm..before the IPO. That why the rich get richer.

    still Id buy it at opening price...

    FB shutting down forever is a very wild rumor..funny how these get passed around.

    97% of googles revenue is from advertising. If you want I can dig for the article I read on it. According to the wiki in 2006 it was 99% SOURCE but I'd imagine the extra 2% has come from licensing the android and googlemaps/earth over the past 4 years.

    Facebook is worth something like 50 billion Dollars. Now way Mark can just shut it down at a whim even if he wanted to.
