Bill Gates could join the ranks of bloggers:

Yes, the world's richest man may start his own blog, one of those online diaries that have been the rage among techies for the past three or four years.

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."

Time permitting huh? You never blog when you have time... You make time to blog. Either way, it will be interesting to see what he chooses to say when he chooses to say it. I'll keep you posted.
