Part of his cleansing of the comments section of anything negative. I have to agree, his guest blogger - bubba murarka, wasn't great. Sorta like an apprentice, not bad, but definitely not on par with Scoble's regular prose. Though sometimes with Scoble there is so much industry insider-stuff I get lost.

This way the Scobelizer keeps up the momentum, and gives his readers to get to know more about the "human side" of MSFT. It could evolve into a MSFT Blog Magazine, with Robert Scoble as the Editor-in-chief. :-) From a corporate point of view, its better than PlanetSun or PlanetSolaris, that are basic RSS feeds aggregators.

As a guest blogger, I'm getting the following: 1. a chance to see what kind of stuff robert deals with by having a popular blog associated with MSFT. This is fun(lots of readers), intresting (helping a guy who got hacked), and an oppertonity (or a risk). 2. new skills and motivation to blog on my site. I've had a blog off an on since 2002. I've never been super hip or popular, but i was "regular". I kind stopped hard in early 2004, and a lot has changed since then. Getting a chance to write on scoble's blog is forcing me to learn and grow. 3. connecting with intresting people. People have left comments on scoble's blog and sent emails to me that I probably wouldn't have met if there was just a link to my blog. In the end, I hope this is a good thing for readers and for me...new friends are always good! 4. its kind of fun. Maybe it'll only be for me, but in the end I hope it is for readers of both scoble and maybe my blog. Hope that answers the questions...I don't have data on readership of my blog yet, but if it is intresting I'll let you know. I suspect it will go up for a while, level, and then drop down. I can see your point(s).
