The Story Is Scoble – Not Microsoft

Posted by Paul Colligan on Saturday, June 10, 2006

I’m by no means the first one to report that Scoble is leaving Microsoft.

But I’m a bit curious about the response. Everyone is talking about Microsoft in this one.

It ain’t about Microsoft – it’s about Scoble.

Blogging is about the conversations and the people behind the companies. Robert, the person is changing jobs, moving his family, etc. That’s the news. He wouldn’t have done it if he didn’t think it was a good move for him and what he’s doing.

Hey, Robert, congrats on the move. I’m sure you’ll do Podtech.net proud. They’re a great organization as well.

    Paul,

    I totally agree, this totally sounds like this decision is about Robert and nothing about Microsoft. I think it is just time for Robert to make a change and I think he really likes the valley better. I am also sure that John made him a deal he could not refuse. I think this is great news for Podcasting.

    It’s certainly going to put podcasting at a higher level on the map. He’s made it clear it wasn’t against Microsoft, it was for his career.
