Will the real Bill Gates please stand up

There are several Twitterers each claiming to be Bill Gates. Could you please tell us which is the real one? So I know which one to avoid.

I thought Bill usually does brunches. Breakfast?! That's blasphemy!

Bill

Isn't it obvious?
The Earthquake was caused by Bill Gates joining Twitter! And the site going down was godly intervention.

Just try and prove me otherwise! :P

Damage control

1) French and German government security agencies advise against using Microsoft's Internet Explorer due to vulnerabilities that were exploited during the Chinese attack on Google.

2) Computer manufacturers are now producing volumes of netbooks, smartphones, and "slates" running non-Microsoft OS's, and advertise the security advantages of this to customers.

3) Bill Gates "suddenly" appears on Twitter to chat up the crowd.

Coincidence? Perhaps not. It seems like every time Microsoft gets in a real bind, they always try and play the Gates card. Probably too little, too late, though.

Billionaire Newbie in IT for a Comprehensive Change

"All of this social-networking that made it big in 2009 does nothing good for anyone. Why do people honestly care about what Bill Gates eats for breakfast. All social netwoking does is lead to scams, increased illegal activities such as robbery, etc." ..... Pathetic, posted by : Rich, 20 January 2010

Rich, It is a very SMART Virtual Operating System for Global Operating Devices too, when Bright Sparks start Following and Exchanging Stealthy Steganographic Tweets. Imagine a Transparent New World Order Programmers Intelligence and Information Supply Chain, for that is what Primed Twitterers can and do Share in CyberSpace in CodedD Messages. No wonder Billy Boy is putting his toe in the water.

All of this social-networking that made it big in 2009 does nothing good for anyone. Why do people honestly care about what Bill Gates eats for breakfast. All social netwoking does is lead to scams, increased illegal activities such as robbery, etc. People need to get a life and see that my above examples are what they are supporting everytime they log into sites like Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace. What happened to the good times when sites like Blogger were a place to post serious debates on tech, politics, and other more important than having 1000 "friends"-you-don't-know type information.

"Bill affect"

The Bill "Affect."

I think a certain "journalist" needs to take some basic spelling and grammar lessons.

And perhaps come up with some original criticisms of social networks too. This whole article feels a bit tired.
