NEW DELHI (AFP) – Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said he was forced to give up on the social networking phenomenon Facebook after too many people wanted to be his friend.
Gates, the billionaire computer geek-turned-philanthropist who was honoured Saturday by India for his charity work, told an audience in New Delhi he had tried out Facebook but ended up with "10,000 people wanting to be my friends".
Gates, who remains Microsoft chairman, said he had trouble figuring out whether he "knew this person, did I not know this person".

Thems the breaks, Gates.
How will he ever console himself?
He’ll buy Facebook and squash them like a bug.
I think he bought 5% of Facebook for $500 million.
I joined yesterday at the urging of the 3 friends I have on there. Already too many.
Bill should create a Page instead of a Profile. That way people can be fans without being “friends”. And he calls himself a software tychoon!
Anyone worth $50B probably has “friends” coming out of the woodwork.
The genius isn’t smart enough to figure out that he doesn’t have to accept the freind requests?
I bet when he was 14 nobody wanted to be his freind.
“Gates, who remains Microsoft chairman, said he had trouble figuring out whether he “knew this person, did I not know this person”.”
LOL!
Join the club!
Try managing 10,000 requests, while you could ignore them, what if a legit friend is trying to friend you?
So, he’ll turn Facebook into Microsoft/Vista?
The genius isn’t smart enough to figure out that he doesn’t have to accept the freind requests?
The marketing scammer and code thief isn’t smart enough to figure out that he doesn’t have to accept the freind requests? Fixed.
Bill Gates doesn’t know people use fake names on the internet? I am extremely disillusioned.

Were they honoring Bill for his efforts to reduce the numbers of black and brown people in the world? Some of his “charity” isn’t.
