<p>This morning, billionaire Mark Zuckerberg <a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/1839881/why-did-mark-zuckerberg-just-join-high-end-pinterest-competitor-the-fancy">joined high-end photo-sharing site</a> The Fancy under the name "<a href="http://www.thefancy.com/zuckd">zuckd</a>." I guess you could say: <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=game+recognize+game">f</a><a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=game+recognize+game">ancy recognize fancy?</a> In that time, the Facebook CEO has already amassed more than 102,000 followers. He's also following some fellow Facebookers, such as <a href="http://www.thefancy.com/dave">Dave Morin</a>, the CEO of Path, and <a href="http://www.thefancy.com/mrserkan">Serkan Piantino</a>, who will head up Facebook's engineering office in New York. (Facebook cofounder Chris Hughes sits on company's board.)</p>
<p>A few months back, we described the aspirational site as "<a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/02/the-fancy-kind-of-like-pinterest-but-all-about-the-money/">kind of like Pinterest, but all about the money</a>." The Fancy is growing fast and has a plan to <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/04/fancy-doubles-users-500-thousand-in-two-months-04192012/">turn anything users share into a chance to buy</a>.</p>
<p>Zuck has also registered for Twitter and Google+ and Pinterest itself, but naturally, his presence on a young site is bound to jump-start the rumor mill.<!--more--></p>
<p>"You just can never tell if he's interested in buying a shelving system, or the entire company," says <a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/1839881/why-did-mark-zuckerberg-just-join-high-end-pinterest-competitor-the-fancy">Fast Company</a>, noting that the last time Zuck expressed interest in a Jack Dorsey startup, he <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/04/facebook-acquires-instagram-500-million-valuation-android-app-sequoia-04092012/">ended up buying it</a>. In fact, not longer after he threw down a billion for Instagram, the tech press speculated that the acquisition was motivated in part by Pinterest's growing cache.</p>
<p>Whether or not today's move is a sign of acquisitions to come, we look forward to seeing what the world's <a href="http://www.forbes.com/profile/mark-zuckerberg/">9th most powerful person</a> has on his wish list. We definitely would have guessed small island nation over <a href="http://www.thefancy.com/zuckd">library shelves</a>, but hey.</p>
