Microsoft Chairman and Founder Bill Gates started a new website named “The Gates Notes”, where he’ll be writing about what’s on his mind, posting information from his trips, and sharing excerpts from his exchanges with experts and leaders in areas including science, energy, philanthropy and other global issues.
In an introductory note, he says “Since leaving my full time job at Microsoft to dedicate more time to our foundation, a lot of people have asked me what I’m working on. It often feels like I’m back in school, as I spend a lot of my time learning about issues I’m passionate about. “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 often share them and my own thoughts on the subject with others through email, so I can learn from them and expand the conversation.”
This site includes the sections “What I’m Thinking,” with topics including the crisis in Haiti and the role of innovation in addressing global warming. Other sections include “What I’m Learning,” “My Travels,” and “Curious Classroom,” in which Gates answers questions from schoolchildren around the world. There’s also a “Conversations” section that will contain interviews and exchanges with Gates and other notable people. And Gates will take on a variety of topics in the “Infrequently Asked Questions”.
