And I thought I was late to Twitter. But Bill Gates, the cofounder of Microsoft, just signed on yesterday. His @BillGates feed already has more than 225,000 followers. Man! What's his secret?
You should know that Bill's only following 40 Twitter accounts, most of which are foundations or companies -- not real people. Can you say, "socially awkward?" jk. But he is following 14 people, and they are in no particular order:
Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures
Steven Levy, senior writer at Wired
Queen Rania, queen of Jordan
Ryan Seacrest, tv personality
Ashton Kutcher, actor
Pierre Omidyar, founder of Omidyar Network
Kara Swisher, columnist, All Things Digital
George Stephanopoulos Good Morning America Anchor and ABC News Chief Political Correspondent
Barack Obama, 44th prez
Hans Rosling, Director of Gapminder Foundation
Chris Anderson, Curator of TED
Nick Krisof, New York Times columnist
