Arrington You Smart Arse. Scoble To Leave PodTech
Author: Steven Finch of http://www.crenk.com | All PostsIt was reported yesterday by Mike Arrington on Techcrunch that Robert Scoble will be leaving PodTech in January and moving to Fast Company. This was big news in itself but what really made it special is that Arrington was in the audience at LeWeb3 Conference and Scoble just walked on stage for his panel discussion when someone in the audience yelled out to look at Techcrunch, so he did and to his surprise there was the article online already. Thus, allowing the audience to see Scobles immediate reaction live and exclusive. Brilliant! Arrington this was very well done.
So yes anyways, Scoble will be leaving PodTech on January 14th and currently has 2 offers on the table that he is considering, Fast Company and another. He is still yet to make a decision on his future but im sure either way it will be quite exciting for him. But my bet is on seeing him running Fast Company TV very soon.
This has all but ended the future of PodTech which has already lost their CEO and now on of its founders and brightest starts. Techcrunch also reported that they are closing in on another million in bridge funding, but this wont save them for too much long.
Actually I think Arrington is just an arse - he could have posted the story before or after Scoble was on stage but no he just wants to fuck with people.
