Bill Gates – Founder of Microsoft is finally on Twitter! And his twitter handle is @billgates. Since leaving his job at Microsoft, Bill Gates has been working to dedicate more time to his Bill & Melinda Gates foundation. He has also launched a personal website – The Gates Notes.
In an introductory note on The Gates Notes website, Bill says “A lot of people have asked me what I’m working on. It often feels like I’m back in school, as I spend a lot of my time learning about issues I’m passionate about.” He adds “I’m fortunate because the people I’m working with and learning from are true experts in their fields. I take a lot of notes, and often share them and my own thoughts on the subject with others through email, so I can learn from them and expand the conversation.”
And finally concludes with a reason behind the formation of The Gates Notes – “I thought it would be interesting to share these conversations more widely with a website, in the hope of getting more people thinking and learning about the issues I think are interesting and important. So, welcome to The Gates Notes.”
Our country also has people like Nandan Nilekani and Narayan Murty who have contributed to India in various ways. It will always be a welcome move from every Indian citizen if they too (and people like them) launch personal websites to share their valuable thoughts with the world. Till now though from the Indian corporate czars only Anand Mahindra seems to be very active on twitter.
