According to Sky News, the Microsoft chairman discussed the social networking service as he addressed an audience in New Delhi, India, on Friday.
"It was just way too much trouble so I gave it up," Gates is quoted as saying.
The billionaire businessman admitted that he became frustrated when he would log in to find "10,000 people wanting to be my friends", adding that it became too difficult to spot his real-life acquaintances.
As he continued his speech, Gates also confessed that he is not a fan of text messaging.
The entrepreneur was in New Delhi to collect the Indira Gandhi Prize for Peace, Disarmament and Development, which was awarded for his contributions to health and development projects in India.
