Microsoft's geek blogger, Robert Scoble, says he's leaving Microsoft and sets the record straight about his position. (He's joining PodTech.net, which involves a move from Seattle to Silicon Valley.)
Blogging wasn't Scoble's job -- he did it unofficially -- and as he says: "I'm not the only blogger at Microsoft. There are about 3,000 of them here. They are not having the plug pulled on them. They changed the world. I just was the cheerleader."
True, but there aren't any Microsoft bloggers on the geek A-list, with either Scoble's name recognition nor his ability to direct lots of traffic to Microsoft team blogs and Channel 9.
