Black holes have a large entropy and it is natural to ask whether this entropy has a statistical interpretation. A possible microscopic picture is given by the correspondenceprinciple, which links black holes and fundamental objects within string theory. The central idea is that the black hole description is valid at large string coupling, but if this coupling is sufficiently decreased, the black hole gets resolved into highly excited string states. If the entropy is held fixed as the coupling is changed, one obtains a microscopic description of black hole entropy. In this talk I will review the correspondence between static black holesand fundamental strings and then describe novel features that appear once one considers the correspondence between rotating black holes and rotating fundamental strings.
