LinkedIn Users Question Gates Query
Without the right connections, though, some LinkedIn users can’t even view Gates’ profile. For some people, clicking on the link to his profile, which is attached to the question, brings up a page saying that the user doesn't know anyone in common with Gates, so his profile can't be displayed. LinkedIn's public relations firm e-mailed a link to Gates' profile, which shows that so far he has three connections.
Gates could be proceeding cautiously with his use of LinkedIn. While popularity is the goal for many social-networking-site users, for someone as well-known as Gates, it's a burden. Reportedly, he recently quit using Facebook because he found it difficult to manage the huge number of requests for friendship that he received.
There were many good answers to Gates' question, as well as messages pitching relevant organizations. The question nicely spans Gates’ current dual roles working at Microsoft as well as his massive charitable organization, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
