Robert Scoble is leaving Microsoft to work at a start-up company called
PodTech.net. Here is the
press release from PodTech.net.
Robert Scoble says it wasn't a defection. We all know the code words: "left to pursue other opportunities." But in the truest sense of those words, Robert says he leaves Microsoft because his work there was done and he comes to PodTech to participate in a nascent industry that promises to go nova.
Many bloggers are discussing Scoble's departure including
Silicon Valley Watcher,
Scripting News,
gapingvoid and the
Cyberspace People Watcher. There are many more posts listed at
TechMeme and
Tailrank.
Dan Farber at ZDNet
points out that Scoble has topped the World Cup in searches on Technorati. Farber asks "what does that say about the Technorati audience?" Tonight the World Cup is still ranked second to
Scoble on Technorati searches but that probably won't last much longer. Scoble has some posts himself about leaving Microsoft
here and
here.
