Scoble leaving Microsoft for another grand adventure The blogosphere rumor mill has been buzzing with the news that Robert Scoble is leaving Microsoft , with Chris Pirillo the most adamant. Robert then posted his response, Correcting the Record about Microsoft. For me, this is both sad news and happy news. Sad, because Microsoft is losing a loud cheerleader Happy, because I think Robert has done what he can at Micosoft and he is ready for the next phase of his life, to be closer to his son, to slow down and to enjoy the journey.  I remember catching up with Robert earlier this year , and he was looking tired and worn out. I’m sure this change will be good for him and his family. I’ve been honored to have been associated with Robert over the years. Just this weekend, Trevor Cook mentioned us together in a recent post. Anyways, time to ask some questions and try to answer them too. Will a new Microsoft Uber blogger emerge? Maybe. Does it matter? There’s over 3,000 MSFT folks blogging now Will I still be reading Robert’s blog ? Yup Will I be leaving too (with Cam credited for starting that rumour ) ? Ah, no. No one else would hire me. Robert - All the best with the new venture.
