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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Brian Carnell</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 29 Aug 2007 22:28:22 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
