The real Bill Gates on twitter no less. In the first hour he pulled 79,387 followers.
Why should you go friend Bill Gates right now?
In another hour he jumped to just under 100,000.
First off joining new very powerful profiles on Twitter will bring you lots of new followers.
Secondly you are linking your Twitter profile to a very powerful user.
Google is going to share some of his profile rank with you.
Now if you can just get Bill to friend you back….
Wonder if he is following Larry Page and Sergey Brin….

He’s following 40 so far… I am only following 400 and am starting to remove a bunch..
Too much info…
But is it the real Bill Gates? I don’t know we’re in Hong Kong
where people will use a celebrities photo to create a Facebook
profile where that person is NOT the celebrity we know of!
Actually this social sites do have a little security issue there
What do you think that those guys can get a fix though?
Nice find!
Thanks for the tip Chris!
Hey “proson”, if it has a “Verified Account”, it is a real account. It looks like he is just following charities and a few companies.
Chris,
This is amazing!! I just followed him.
I’m going to let all my fellow developers and seo at work know about this. I also linked you back from my blog at:

Thanks again for sharing.
Thanks Chris, I started to follow Mr. Gates.
If it is the REAL Bill Gates, then would you cease the unrelenting attacks against the co-founders of Google, join into every social-media site you can and allow us all to regroup as a respectful and conscientious online community, all striving towards the ‘Bigger Picture’.
In any event, what discussions you had with Bill Clinton last year with regard to Health and Micro-Financing is just the same topic of interest that both Larry and Sergey have already explored. There is no direct competition with Bill Gates, it is a realistic view towards the future for millions of people all around the world and if you don’t stop these senseless court actions, then you will truly undermine the integrity and social standing of all who stand to protect the fundamental beliefs we hold close to our hearts.
Can we stand united together as one voice?
Note the “Verified name” badge on the Twitter profile. It is really Bill Gates.
