比尔•盖茨本周也悄然加入了使用Twitter的名人行列。不过，要是长度最多仅限140个字母的Twitter讯息让你觉得看不过瘾，由软件业巨头变身慈善家的盖茨还于周三开始，通过名为“盖茨笔记”的网站来和大家分享他的思想全貌。
With little fanfare, Bill Gates joined the ranks of celebrities on Twitter this week. But if 140-character tweets aren"t enough for you, the software-mogul-turned-philanthropist Wednesday started sharing his more complete thoughts on a Web site dubbed "The Gates Notes."
　　
盖茨的网站将成为一个宝藏，人们可以从中洞悉盖茨对于从教育到能源等各类问题的所思所想。他将会列出自己正在看的书，贴出电邮和演讲节选。他的网站目录包括：“我的旅程”和“我正在学习什么”，等等。
Mr. Gates"s site, will be a repository for his thoughts on a range of topics from education to energy. He will list books he is reading and post emails and excerpts from presentations. Areas of the site are broken into categories including "My Travels" and "What I"m Learning."

这位微软董事长于周二时正式“入驻”Twitter，随后推出“盖茨笔记”网站。他的twitter网页带有显示其名人身份的蓝色对钩标志。
The site follows the Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) chairman"s first use of Twitter"s messaging service Tuesday. His Twitter page bore the blue check-mark icon used to verify the identifies of famous people who use the service.
　　
盖茨之所以更新Twitter并推出新网站，为的是加大和公众的交流，将人们的注意力引向他2008年离开微软全职工作之后所关注的一系列涵盖更广的议题。
The Twitter updates and new Web site are part of an effort to increase communication about a broader range of topics that Mr. Gates has focused on since leaving full-time work at Microsoft in 2008.
　　
盖茨在Twitter上写下的第一段话是：世界你好。我正在努力写定于1月25日发布的基金会信函。仅这寥寥几笔就足以吸引追随者的目光了，截至周三下午，盖茨在twitter上追随者的数量已经突破了23万。他所说到的基金会信函指的是比尔及梅林达•盖茨基金会将于下周一发出的年度信件，文中将详述他对慈善事业的看法。
His first tweet, "Hello World. Hard at work on my foundation letter - publishing on 1/25," was enough to start pulling in followers, who by Wednesday afternoon numbered more than 230,000. The message referred to an annual letter coming Monday detailing his thoughts on his philanthropy, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
　　
盖茨不仅通过这一网页和大家分享自己的观点，还用这项服务选定跟随大约40个Twitter用户，包括约旦王后拉妮亚和演员艾希顿•库奇等名人。拥有400多万追随者的库奇写到，欢迎盖茨加入Twitter家族。
Mr. Gates wasn"t just sharing his thoughts, he was also using the service to follow about 40 Twitter users ranging from Queen Rania Al-Abdullah of Jordan to actor Ashton Kutcher. "I"d like to welcome @billgates to the twitterverse," wrote Mr. Kutcher, who has more than 4 million Twitter followers.
　　
周三，盖茨在Twitter上宣告了“盖茨笔记”网站的诞生，他还写道，可以和大家更多地分享我正在学习的东西，我感到非常兴奋。
Wednesday, Mr. Gates used Twitter to announce the Gates Notes site, tweeting that he is "excited to share more about what I"m learning."
　　
盖茨最早在Twitter上发布讯息包括他关于教育改革、海地地震、地球工程等问题的看法。他还对大卫•麦凯撰写的《可持续能源》一书大加赞赏，并高度评价了曼尼托巴大学教授，撰写了多本能源、食品及人口问题相关书籍的瓦卡拉夫•斯弥尔的工作。
The first installments include his thoughts on education reform, Haiti and geo-engineering, among other topics. He also gave a thumbs up to the book "Sustainable Energy" by David MacKay and highlighted the work of Vaclav Smil, a professor at the University of Manitoba and author of books on energy, food and population.
　　
盖茨在网站上发布的信息显示出，他相信更多的技术创新可以解决当今世界上的许多问题。美国政府在部分技术创新中起到了领头羊的作用。
Throughout the site, Mr. Gates"s opinions show his overarching belief that more technological innovation, some of it government-led, can cure many of the world"s ills.
