Scoble —
If you follow the blogosphere (yukkkk), the Twitterati (eurghhhh), the Facebookers, or the FriendFeeders, you might be forgiven for believing that these social networks are where all the action is happening right now. For example, high-profile bloggers, tweeters, and Facebookers such as Robert Scoble, and Chief Mahooligan, Jason Calacanis are in love with Twitter at [...]
A few days ago, popular tech blogger Robert Scoble posted a series of videos in which he discussed why he thought that a combination of companies like Mahalo, TechMeme and Facebook could take on Google in search in a few years. The response has been pretty shocking.

Robert Scoble, blogger extraordinaire, “reads” 31,000 articles written on other people’s blogs every month. Now, assuming Robert spends around 4 hours per day reading news feeds, that means he spends around 15 seconds reading each article. I think that’s called “wide, not deep.”

It’s funny. Just a couple of days ago, I was reading a post on Scoble’s blog, entitled - Google, The World’s Largest Startup? The post was all about Google APIs and widgets, and how great they are.

Are you an entrepreneur? Do you watch ScobleShow? If not, maybe you should. Here’s why.
I guess you know the most valuable thing about attending conferences isn’t hearing the (same old, same old) talks from the same old, same old people. Nope. It’s the conversations that take place off-line that are really useful. [...]
By now, you’ve probably heard all about Microsoft new MP3 player - Zune. You can see it discussed in some detail by Zune’s product manager on the Scoble Show;and Scoble discusses Zune versus the iPod on his blog.
My view on Zune? I think it’s going to fail. Here’s my top five reasons [...]
I’ve been e-mailing with a colleague today, discussing various aspects of Microsoft and Google. Now, I don’t really follow Microsoft and Google all that closely - Microsoft, especially, does so much that it’s difficult for the casual observer to keep up.
