Robert Scoble departs from Microsoft

Seems like there’s a real wind of opportunity at the moment, and everyone is on the move…

Word on the street is that Robert Scoble is going to stop working for The Man and move on to PodTech.net.

I’m not surprised Robert is leaving Microsoft. He’s done some amazing work to change the perception of Microsoft, but I think the scope for further change on the is plateauing out. (Don’t get me wrong, Microsoft still has a lot of room for improvement, but what’s left needs to start occurring in avenues other than the blogosphere and it’s associated ecosystems).

Robert has a run down about why he’s on the move, which is worth checking out. Like me and the BBC, it sounds like Robert isn’t closing his allegiances with Microsoft – just moving onto pastures new.

Best of luck Robert @ PodTech.
