"I suggest that everyone look at this story for what it is — not the misguided attempt of a tech pundit to predict the future of search but instead a brilliantly orchestrated marketing ploy by a master self-promoter."
In other words, the post was a completely disingenuous publicity ploy.
I agree, I just think you're dead wrong about this not being bad press. Why should I take anything Scoble ever says again seriously if any given post is as likely as not to be a crass marketing ploy.
I guess if you like your reading material to devolve to the level of shock radio, that might be interesting, and I guess John Dvorak has made a career of this, but it just confirms my suspicions about Scoble as a wannabe and a poseur who rarely understands, much less believes, the nonsense he spouts.
