Bill Gates, yes the Microsoft founder, created a profile on LinkedIn, after deleting his Facebook profile. Why? He got too many friend's request on Facebook. Apparently Bill G was spending about 30 minutes daily on Facebook...
His LinkedIn profile shows him as Chairman of Microsoft and Co-Chairman of Melinda Gates foundation. His Microsoft stint reads:
Chairman
Microsoft
(Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; MSFT; Computer Software industry)
1975 — Present (33 years)
I am Chairman of Microsoft, the company I co-founded in 1975. In July of 2008, I will be transitioning out of my day-to-day role in the company and will be focusing more time on the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. After the transition, I will remain involved at Microsoft on a part-time basis.
Do I think Microsoft will buy LinkedIn? Hmmm...wouldn't that be interesting?
