Scoble says bye bye to MS 1
So, apparently the one man who was able to put a semi-decent face on Microsoft has recently left his job. Robert Scoble has left to join Podtech as Vice President of Media Development.
While I don’t agree with some of the man’s opinions (for example, his “anti-marketing design” theory), I appreciated the role he played as an insider. He did what he was hired to do and showed the world the human side of Microsoft, or at least the blogging and geek world. I even read his blog once in a while to get the latest bit about Microsoft, when it struck me to do so and I wasn’t too lazy.
Best of wishes to him at PodTech, I suppose. He’ll still be blogging, I presume, so we’ll see how it goes, and we’ll see if MS pulls someone else up to replace him.
