Bill Gates is on Twitter

Well @BillGates has been listed by Twiter as a verified account. But he does seem to have a slightly eccentric set of people he follows. I wonder if his daughters had an input to the list!

Edit

And Channel 9 is on the list that he follows - No pressure then guys

This is just the internet...  who needs links anyways?

Funny how the number of followers goes up like, 50/second.

Right on. We're honored, Bill (you know, I bet he peruses the site once and while too.... )

Haha, funny, I thought people will say stuff about MS, but, all I see is Haiti stuff. Obviously he is donating madly.

For the staff employment sake, I hope Bill doesn't try to post here. He'd most likely get a FWSOD (faded white screen of death)

I think he's focussed almost entirely on his charitable foundation now.

For me, every time I hit reload it goes up 3-5. Impressive.

Since we're on the topic of Twitter and Charles is in here, this really needs to be a C9 feature, having a twitter icon by our display names in here; maybe underneath our name/blurb. Be good just for us niners, but even better for the videos, so we can add guys like John Papa and if his guests, as an example.

We'll add that to your profile for sure, we hadn't figured out the best way to display it in the actual forum though... or other ways in which we could use it (notification for example?)

I don't think it's necessary to display it in the actual forums. You don't display the web address here either. Maybe it's better to keep it simple. One idea is to show a niner's most recent tweets on his profile page.

But I think they used to here. Been a while, but we used to have 3 or 4 icons underneath our avatar.

oh

Paul Allen gives money to cooler stuff like space exploration, who cares about third world countries in the cosmic scheme of things?
