Robert Scoble Interview in Mercury News
PodTech’s own Robert Scoble is featured today in the San Jose Mercury News also known as the Merc here in Silicon Valley. What’s compelling about the story is the openness of the net and how opportunities are created via transparency. Nice article by Michelle Quinn
The Merc writes: “Over the past three years, Scoble has gained fame as the “Microsoft blogger,” a Microsoft employee writing online about Microsoft and its products. His persona is non-defensive and engaging, an online bedside manner he says he learned dealing with angry customers when he worked at a camera store in San Jose.”….
Michelle asks what he learned from Microsoft. Robert says “We were tired of committee-based marketing. Here we were having real conversations with people. On the first day we started Channel 9, the public relations people tried to shut it down. But they couldn’t because 100,000 people showed up. That was three years ago. Now it has 4.3 million unique visitors a month as of two months ago.’
Robert Scoble has been a great addition to the PodTech family. There have been a few announcements since Robert joined PodTech and look for more big upcoming announcements this fall.
Here is the story by Michelle Quinn of the San Jose Mercury News

[…] From our previous post about Robert Scoble’s interview with MercuryNews, we got PodTeched by the folks at PodTech.net. When we wrote our article we never know it will be ‘picked’ up by someone from the other side of the world. This is a example why a business should try to explore the use a blog to connect with potential customers or partners alike. By putting your message out there, you are essentially giving people the opportunity to talk about you and connect with you. […]
