Okay, for those of you who saw the story and frantically began to take down your Facebook photos to avoid losing them forever, let me enlighten you for a moment.

So no, Facebook is not shutting down. Facebook is not even struggling. In fact, recent numbers show that the world's largest social network has passed the 600 million user mark.
And although I'm sure there will still be a few people panicking over the future of their Cityville and Mafia Wars games, it's safe to say that Facebook isn't going away anytime soon.
