According to http://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/27321/facebook-will-end-on-march-15th/, Facebook is going to get shut down on march 15th.
Nowadays while watching Youtube videos, I've been noticing many "fake" comments advertising Pocodot (http://www.pocodot.com/); comments posted by "empty" accounts always being from Philippines and USA.

Their advertisements are all over high-viewed Youtube music videos, and as far as I know they've not been "blocked" and therefore Youtube may be supporting them.

I wonder if Pocodot is going to be the next "Facebook" in a few months.

What are your thoughts concerning this?
