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




Bill Gates also follows 40 people.


His Facebook page at this time has 50,977 fans and set to increase. His latest post has his photos from India. where he did work on his Bill and Malinda Gates foundation. 


Gates had once said that he was on Facebook but said he gave up after he got 10,000 friend requests per day.


The Twitter account is verified and Facebook is yet to confirm his page. It seems to be genuine though and both accounts are quiet related to his foundation. He seems to be very serious about his efforts to make a huge impact with the foundation. On Twitter he follows a lot of charities and a few celebrities.


It's a start will Bill Gates now reaching out to the world. Now that he's on it would be interesting to see where it goes from here. Charitable Bill
