Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has joined the Twitter bandwagon. Gates bid the Twitter community a “Hello World” around midday, and then followed that message with three more lauding efforts to raise aid funds for earthquake-devastated Haiti.
The recently-retired Microsoft legend’s Twitter page bore a blue check-mark icon used to verify identities of famous people using the popular microblogging service.
As sundown neared in Washington where Gates lives, he had logged four tweets and signed on to “follow” messages at 40 other Twitter accounts.
Twitter users that Gates was tracking ranged from Queen Rania Al-Abdullah of Jordan and US President Barack Obama to actress Ashley Tisdale, actor Ashton Kutcher, and CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research. Over 61,000 people signed on to follow Gates on his opening day.
