Scoble-a-go-go
The world’s most famous corporate blogger, Robert Scoble, credited with helping to break down a siege mentality at his employer, Microsoft, confirmed on Sunday that he is leaving to join a recently formed Silicon Valley Internet media start-up.
Scoble, 41, said in a phone interview that he will join PodTech.net, a Menlo Park, Calif., start-up that earlier this year began podcasting video interviews recorded with technology industry luminaries.
Starting in July, Microsoft’s best known nonexecutive employee will become PodTech vice president of content, in charge of creating shows for the new medium in which computer users watch television-like interviews over the Web.
In a posting late Saturday on his widely read blog site Scobleizer, the Microsoft technology evangelist said he was parting with the Redmond, Wash.-based company on cordial terms.
“I love Microsoft, and Microsoft did not lose me–at least as a supporter and friend,” Scoble wrote on his blog Saturday. “It is the best big company in the world.”
