Bill Gates joins Twitter, exchanges Tweets with Ashton Kutcher and Ryan Seacrest

Bill Gates Twitter

Bill Gates has finally joined Twitter. I know, I know. Shouldn’t we have done that months, nay a year ago? Shouldn’t he have done it before the Twitter backlash(Twitlash) began in earnest? I mean, even Miley Cyrus has been dissing the popular social networking site. Well, regardless of why he waited so long, here he is, and here is what he’s been saying:

“Hello World.” Hard at work on my foundation letter

@RyanSeacrest: Just got a call from cnn. here are the final numbers raised from last nights show.. for unicef + american red cross $8 . . .

@TIME: We’ve assembled a list of sources tweeting live from Haiti – follow it here: http://twitter.com/TIME/haiti

@RyanSeacrest – thanks for your work on this, it will have a real impact for the people in Haiti who need it most.

@aplusk thanks to you and all the other people who have welcomed me. I’ve got a lot to learn about Twitter but look forward to sharing more.

So far, Mr. Gates has racked up over 200,000 followers. Here is what some of them have to say about his Tweets:

@davidschneider: I’m slightly disappointed his first tweet wasn’t “Windows 7 was my idea”.

@alyankovic: Glad @BillGates is finally on Twitter. It takes ­forever to get him on the phone for tech support.

@glinner: @billgates could you DM me? Got an idea that could make us both THOUSANDS.

@zoopedup: re Twitter down time earlier – “As soon as @BillGates gets involved things start crashing.”

@Shamus_McClane: Hey @billgates, I need help with my Zune! Oh hang on, I GOT AN iPOD LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD!!!

@aplusk: @BillGates I’m happy to give you a tutorial, but I charge by the hour. we can discuss rates offline.

Keep on Tweeting, Bill! And Shamus_McClane, that Zune dig was uncalled for. Get some manners, sir.
