After his arrival on twitter and almost a mayhem about it, Bill Gates has officially announced his next step into the social media world, his brand new blog, The Gates Notes.
Gates tells the motivation for his site:
“Since leaving my full time job at Microsoft to dedicate more time to our foundation, 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 says in an introductory note. “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.”
Gates continues, “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.”
As of now the blog includes articles on education reform and the immediate need for help in Haiti. There’s also a podcast series with Gates speaking on climate change and related subjects. Other parts of the blog also include sections on his travels, books he’s reading, “What I’m Thinking About” , “What I’m Learning”, and “Infrequently Asked Questions”.
Do i need to mention that as other bloggers, he has a direct link to his twitter account and his latest Tweet. I guess "Tweet tweet....tweet tweet", is all now what people will start hearing outside his office.
