I’m Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. AMA

Things like this make me giddy and takes me back to when hanging out on bulletin boards and forums would have you stumbling across really interesting people doing really interesting things. Bill Gates is doing an AMA on Reddit.

"Hi, I’m Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Ask me anything. Many of you know me from my Microsoft days. The company remains very important to me and I’m still chairman. But today my full time work is with the foundation. Melinda and I believe that everyone deserves the chance for a healthy and productive life – and so with the help of our amazing partners, we are working to find innovative ways to help people in need all over the world."

There have been a large collection of self.IAmA's done by a good cross section of people that I really admire (if you haven't already then do spend time on Neil deGrasse Tyson's AMA ... its brilliant) but there was something about this that made me hear the dial tones of a 14.4kbps modem.

Here's a video of Bill answering a few of the questions:



And internet, be a sport and help him out *grin*
