Over at Scripting News, Dave Winer confirms Scoble moves. “Chris Pirillo says it's “100 percent true” that Scoble is leaving Microsoft and joining Podtech.” … Dave goes on to say,”I didn't like how Microsoft was changing our relationship, and I told him so, really clearly. You can only be at such a large company for so long before it changes you… A person like Scoble can have enormous influence just by adopting some very simple ideas. It's the ideas that have power. But Microsoft hasn't let the changes waft over them. They still think in old terms. I'm glad to see my old friend didn't go down with the ship.”
Agreed.
