Leaving The Nest
I imagine it would be easier to leave Microsoft now than it was ten, even five years ago. The cosmic forces have shifted. But not entirely. There is still a great deal of prestige and weight behind the big guru, and walking away from a high-profile job would leave behind a lot of wonderful opportunities.
Robert Scoble (Scobleizer) has left the building.
Opportunity is what he did it for though. To keep excited. There’s a great little exit-interview (Microsoft Watch) that popped up today, well, technically yesterday for us yobbos is ozland and all counterparts.
It’s good to read about a guy who has made blogging into something important in a business sense. And by that, I don’t mean breaking through and getting ten thousand dollhairs a month from Google Adsense.
I mean, he’s made businesses actually put time into researching blogging, making it part of their overall plans, their strategies, etc etc.
It’s healthy reading.
Nuff for now …
Scoble will be missed. Channel9 is a great place to see whats going on.
Scoble’s human face of Microsoft idea was better than the 1$ he received from Steve Balmer. Its an idea that other large corporates should take on board. Constructive critisism is exactly what is needed for the Softies to realise where they are going wrong, and maybe improve a little.
Lets hope that Charles and the team can capitalise on Scoble’s idea and keep up the good work.
hmmm Maybe a few of these vids would be good for SV…who knows.
Anyway
Cao for now

Mark. I think it would be a good avenue for them (SV) to explore. I guess they are starting, with the softvelocity.net structure .. but i’d like to see them get more agressive in their presence.
