The Four-Hour Approach to invesigating if Facebook ends on March 15, 2011.

Facebook ends on March 15, 2011. This reminds me of the Y2K scare. (If you’re reading and don’t have a clear idea what the Y2K scare is then I’ll tell you. It’s basically a scare that back in 1999 that all the computers will crash because when the “Y2K” (Year 2000 – I just got that now. Yeah, I’m late.) bug will tell the computers that it is year 0 and when that happens. We’re back to the Wild West. However, as you can see. That didn’t happen.

Now, Facebook is just like Y2K scare. Many people only talk to the people on Facebook, only get girlfriends on Facebook, or only have a Facebook business (ESPECIALLY THE INTERNET MARKETERS!) are truly worried about this. Especially me and so that’s why I did research on this. Facebook affects me greatly (and it’s a shame that it’s gotten to that point….) so I decide to investigate this story and get down to the bottom of it.

First, I looked at all the panicky blogs and look at the still videos of Mark Zuckerberg announcing the end of Facebook as we know it. Then, I wondered why was this a still picture used a YouTube movie instead of Mark actually talking about it. Then, I clicked around and found a few blogs saying that it was an internet rumor. The Facebook Director didn’t know who started it but I soon figured it who the culprit was: The Weekly World News. It’s a news site that tells false stories in a comical sense. This was intended to be a joke but panicky Facebookers threw themselves into a panic and spread the joke like it was actual real news! It’s heard to take a news source source seriously when they post articles about George Clooney running for president in 2012 and alien spacecraft landing here in 2011.

I did all that under 15 minutes. I followed the “reduced information diet” on the 4-Hour Workweek. I knew the book was great and all but I had no idea that it can debunk a silly internet rumor in 15 minutes. From creating the lifestyle you want to starting a movement, the 4-Hour Workweek proves to be the new business bible.
