What is Digg?23 Comments
- RyeBrye, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10This may be a good career move for him, but I doubt his blog will retain its popularity once he no longer works for MS. It's not so much that HE was interesting - it's that people were interested in hearing from an outspoken MS employee - and he happened to fit that bill.
I have no interest in hearing from a PodTech.net employee. - pompom246, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Here's the link to Scoble's blog post on it:
http://scobleizer.wordpress.com/2006/06/10/correcting-the-record-about-microsoft/ - brianoberkirch, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Mike just talked to Scoble and confirmed this. Not a dupe. I just heard him confirm it with Robert.
- macewan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4sounds like he really liked working with Microsoft and just wanted to try something different - change is good

But how is this news. Now he will spew pro-Microsoft propaganda and look objective whiule doing coz he does not work for MS anymore.
Oh crap, I just read the rest of the comments and its filled with little Scobelizers. OK, fine. Mod me down. - ekai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1uh, I believe PodTech got $5M, not $20M
- NSResponder, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Yeah, I have to agree with you on that.
-jcr - tommasz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think his popularity was driven by the collective hope that he would reveal something juicy about the internals of Microsoft. But he never really did. I didn't find him interesting when he was writing about Train Simulator and I don't find him interesting now. Nevertheless, a lot of the A-list bloggers seemed to worship his every word. There's no 'splaining some things.
- dw2005, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Good - I never liked his shaky cam vids and his obsession with Yuguio desktop themes. (in the videos I watched)
- ChewbaccaUC, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2There's always MiniMicrosoft, but he's kind of gone, uh, soft lately. 'The new review system makes me wanna dance'? Wow, you can almost see the lobotomy scars when you read that.
- ekai, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1GETV gets the dirt from Scoble at Vloggercon:
http://www.geekentertainment.tv/2006/06/12/robert-scoble-has-some-big-news/ - totalguru, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Podtech they got $20M from VCs to do this! Sounds like sure failure. GRUUVE has been doing this for a while http://www.gruuve.com:9000/?q=webguild
- ajcannon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2is techcrunch.com down for anyone else?
- willij, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3You can trust the content on TechCrunch.com.
- beconfused, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3This would be such a loss for Microsoft!
- DaffyDuck, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2yuppers
- Isgirl, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3this looks like the first post
where someone actually spoke to Robert Scoble about whether or not he
left Microsoft? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Why would anybody hire Scoble? He has no tangible skills, except blathering in his blog and sucking the dicks of other bloggers like Zadickwodny.
- blacksh33p, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1But you can't trust TechCrunch to increase their resources so the article works. You would think they learned by now. Doh.

The jerk who posted this had to see my submittion before he posted this. Mine should be the one on the front page. This site sucks. The first mention of this was the link I made. What is the point of having a submit button on the front page if only a select few submitters are allowed to get on the front page. I made this submittion first. - ogletree, on 10/12/2007, -10/+1Oops this is the first digg I mean.
