Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates gives up on Facebook after too many people want to be his friend
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates says 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 by India for his charity work, says he tried out Facebook but ended up with 10 000 people wanting to be his friend.

Gates, who remains Microsoft chairman, says he has trouble figuring out whether he "knew this person, did I not know this person".

"It was just way too much trouble so I gave it up," says Gates.
