Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook page

When it comes to sharing stuff with the world on Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg doesn't do it as often as you'd think.

His last public post to his Facebook page was on March 28, almost a month ago. It was a link to a paper he wrote about using drones, satellites and lasers to expand the Internet. That was shortly after the company announced it had bought solar drone maker Ascenta.

But it was the post he made a few days earlier that was the real shocker. That's where he told the world that he had bought virtual reality headset maker Oculus VR, and explained why he made that $2 billion acquisition.

Now, the company has told investors that it plans to use Zuck's Facebook page to make more official announcements. It included this disclosure in a form filed to the SEC that announced the resignation of CFO David Ebersman:

Facebook uses the investor.fb.com website, and intends to also use Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/zuck), as a means of disclosing material non-public information and for complying with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD.

As we previously reported, companies are increasingly viewing their employees' Facebook accounts as assets to use. Looks like Facebook is doing the same, starting at the top.
