Dies meint wenigstens die Seattle Times:
Bill Gates has a reputation for coming late to the party, then making a big splash when he arrives.That's what happened after the Microsoft chairman realized the potential of the Internet. And it may happen again if he starts his personal Web log. Bill's blog won't be all business, either. He's expected to share personal details such as tidbits from recent vacations, according to tech pundit Mary Jo Foley's Microsoft Watch newsletter. Citing unnamed sources, she reported yesterday that Gates is about to start blogging "real soon now."Microsoft spokesman Mark Murray would not confirm the story, but left open the possibility, saying, "Bill would love to do his own blog at some point in the future, time permitting."

Namensvorschläge für Bills Blog nimmt das ScaramoucheBlog gerne entgegen.

Und Jay Rosen liefert die "Blog-Bedienungsanleitung" in Form eines Briefes gleich mit:

An original weblog by Bill Gates--rich, famous, powerful, controversial person--could be a fourth way a business titan deals with the press: as author and critic, reading the headlines, putting certain ideas at risk, inserting himself into public conversation as a citizen of the planet, a reader of the news, (a sharp, funny person) editing the Web like all good weblogs do, and finding a honest voice in which to speak. Cure your blog of public relations, every hint and drop, or don't do it at all. [ Via PressThink: Letter to Bill Gates, Soon to be a Weblogger ]
