Let's see how far the influence gets Scoble . An interesting exercise in the true value of social media is how you can leverage it to what YOU want to do.

Well, the Web 2.0 startup scene is really going to suffer now. What will they do without the jolly Scoble showing up to point his camera at some computer screen that no one else can see while pitching softball questions and gushing over their products? Perhaps this approach was unique a few years ago. But there is no shortage of cheerleaders today for all the dopey web apps that are popping up daily. So the service that Scoble provides just isn't as valuable as it used to be. Maybe they should've stuck with that photography show they produced one episode of and then abandoned.

Robert's great value to me (and I imagine many others) was when he operated inside a large opaque organization (Microsoft), putting faces to previously anonymous technology. His transition to "startup gadfly" reduced his value to me and perhaps others simply because most startups are not important. I regret that he has become collateral damage in this horrid recession, but hope this propels him back into an established company where he can again do what he does best.

Robert: get an agent to book you on speaking tours, especially at colleges. You can live-cast your presentations and interviews.

I would take issue with the statement that Mr. Scoble provides a real service to the tech community. He provides a service to the fellow marketeers. The technical people I know gather their information from much more accurate, reliable, and concise sources.
