Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has launched a personal website for the first time.
The website is designed to share his thoughts on everything from his foundation work to musings on other topics including energy and the environment.
In his greeting to new users of GatesNotes.com, he writes, “since leaving my fulltime job at Microsoft to dedicate more time to our [charitable] foundation, a lot of people have asked me what I'm working on. I'm fortunate because the people I'm working with and learning from are true experts in their fields. I take a lot of notes [and] I thought it would be interesting to share these conversations more widely with a website.”
He goes on to say that his hope is that the site will “get more people thinking and learning about the issues I think are interesting and important.”
Gates Notes includes a section dubbed "What I'm Thinking," with topics including the crisis in Haiti and the role of innovation in addressing global warming.
The other topics include, “What I’m Thinking About”, “What I’m Learning”, “My Travels” and “Curious Classroom", in which Gates answers questions from schoolchildren around the world.
Gates has also reviewed Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner’s latest book on economics, “Super Freakonomics”.
And Gates will take on a variety of topics in the "Infrequently Asked Questions" sections.
