Mfarhanonline Social Media News: Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg has accumulated more than 5 million subscribers, thanks to a simple trick. On Wednesday, Facebook rolled out a Subscribe button . The button allows a user to follow anybody’s public updates, regardless of whether or not they are Facebook friends. This one-way subscription model is like following somebody on Twitter or adding somebody to a Google+ Circle. While some users are worried about the privacy implications of the the opt-in feature, many others are using it to subscribe to other users, particularly Mark Zuckerberg. In fact, the Facebook CEO is amassing subscribers at a breakneck pace. Since Wednesday morning, Zuckerberg has acquired more than 5+ million subscribers, and that number is rising by the minute. The count is rising so quickly that the site can’t even properly display his total subscriber count (check out the screenshot to see what we mean). There’s a caveat to this, though. Five million people didn’t suddenly decide to start subscribing to the Facebook CEO’s feed. Instead, Zuckerberg converted fans of his old Facebook Page ( http://facebook.com/markzuckerberg ) into subscribers of his personal page ( http://facebook.com/zuck ). A cached version of Zuckerberg’s fan page shows that he had 5,203,153 fans just before he made the switch. That’s around the same amount of people now subscribed to his account. We believe that number will continue to rise as Facebook migrates the rest of Zuckerberg’s fans to his personal account and new people start subscribing to him. The social network has been converting many fan pages into subscribers in the last day and plans to launch a do-it-yourself conversion tool in the next few weeks. Now we have to ask: Is Zuckerberg the most-followed person on Facebook? Let us know if you find anybody else! who com es close to Zuck’s numbers in the comments.
