Is Facebook Really Shutting Down on March 15 2011?

I read that Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of Facebook announced that he will be shut down the website on March 15, 2011.

I can't believe Facebook is closing down, what am I going to do with all my pictures? That site is where I keep all my albums.

If Facebook actually ends then all my pics are gone, I have too many tagged photos on that website.

The rumor is not true. it was on a fake online news site thats just used for entertainment, and now its spreading everywhere.

I think the rumor may have something to do with the Goldman Sachs investment in Facebook, it may help lower share prices or something along those lines.

Facebook is the most used website and is worth over 15 billion dollars. They have rejected offers for up to 5 million from companies like Microsoft.

Trust me, Facebook isn't going anywhere. Rumors like this go around regularly, but if you don't see it on a major news site, don't give it any further thought.
