I was biting my tongue during this past week in Europe. Wherever I went people asked me how Scoble was doing and all I could say was that he was going through changes.
The changes are out. The news is the most talked about thing in the blogosphere today, and well it should be. Robert Scoble's departure from Microsoft to join John Furrier's Podtech is significant news indeed.
To my thinking, this is an enormous coup for Podtech. Robert is among the world's most popular text and video bloggers. It not only elevates Podtech to a new tier as a producer, but it takes a significant forward step in confirming the category of broadcast social media.
I think Robert has made a wise choice. These days, he is going through a good deal of personal growth and he has selected a job where he can grow faster and further than he could in the confines of Microsoft.
Good luck Robert. Congratulations John.
