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.<br><br>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.Brian CarnellWed, 29 Aug 2007 22:28:22 -0000
