It quite possibly will shut down in the future and if/when it does I would use Google+.

I already use Google+ because on Android it's extremely nicely integrated, and the iOS app isn't half bad either.

Wouldn't do anything. This is because my friends have my mobile number and we text each other regularly instead of using facebook anyway..

I'd be pretty pissed about photos and I doubt I'd be able to get in touch again with some people but I'd just start using the alternative, probably Google+.

It wont dissapear overnight, but when it's up against Google+ it will be in for a fight.

If it came down to Facebook closing I'm assuming there would be a method of exporting and importing Facebook data into Google+.

I'd be quite happy if it meant a return to MSN for people, something that actually works and doesn't have a terrible habit of breaking.

Absolutely nothing. The world would be a better place if facebook shut down.

Move to another social network. If all the major social networks got shut down for whatever reason then it'd just be back to msn like the good old days.

Google+ and Twitter, I use twitter more than facebook anyway so won't be a huge loss to me.

Move to Google+ :P I much prefer it by design and use than Facebook. If Facebook, for some unknown reason, got sold to another company or bought, I can see people deleting their photos and purging all their information for fear of personal information being passed on to other people. But that won't really happen in the near future :P

Once Google+ is available to anyone and everyone, then Facebook will fall - it annoys me at the best of times, it is a lousy site design wise :P

If facebook shut down..... oh no how would I be able to know what everyone is doing at every second of the day... but really, it is a great social networking site, but if social networking as a whole was to shut down, then I bet people would have better face to face relations with people. Rather than saying " Oh he is my facebook friend" or "I know her from facebook, but not in real person".

While it won't shut down if it did people would just move onto the next thing. There always is the chance the same problems with eventually come to Facebook that MySpace and Bebo had - they where popular, MySpace seemed massive at one point and News Corp even bought it, Bebo at one point took over as the top social network with AOL eventually buying it. Maybe Google + could be the next generations network although I'm doubtful - I think Facebook does a lot more than + and while it has some advantages I don't think its worth the move.

If every social network closed down then it would just be like it once was with people talking all the time. While people would be annoyed they'd have to get used to it.

I would continue not using it.

I would rejoice :P

Nothing annoys me more than people who feel the need to post what they're doing every 5 minutes, and add people just for the sake of having the "biggest friends list".
