The rapid growth in his follower numbers is certainly impressive, but I'm more curious about who he chooses to follow. Looking through the list, it was mostly foundations. What struck me as odd was that he followed Ashton Kutcher and Ashley Tisdale. We all have our reasons for choosing who we want to read/hear, I would love to know why he lent his mindshare to those two.

- sriramk 17y agoThere was some speculation internally on this too (I work at MSFT). One theory is that Ashley Tisdale is involved in charity work too and Bill might know her personally. No idea as to how true that is though :)
