I am happy to see that now bloggers are receiving so huge amount of attention. It was unbeliveable even only 100 days ago and now this is real. This is a new feature of Web 2.0.

Something like this might point to a different conclusion: there really isn’t that much going on in the blogosphere. Maybe it was just a very slow news day.

brem: I agree. The same reason I did *not* blog about Scoble. I have respect for the guy but he’s one man. Same reason I didn’t blog about Dave Winer exiting blogging.

~~ but unfortunately I’m a small fry ~~ Boy, aren’t you humble?

~~ I’ve not been trying or am ignoring this news. I’ll keep trying though ~~ I’m so glad to hear this, always looking forward to interview post even to those contributors’ posts during your absent.

hey I’d love to interview Robert – but unfortunately I’m a small fry, he’s obviously got other things on his mind and I’m not liking my chances. It’s hard enough getting him to respond to my one question interview at the moment let alone get him agree to a full on interview (from what I hear everyone is trying to get him to talk to them atm – I don’t blame him for not getting back to me on it).

Don’t assume that because you don’t see an interview etc here that I’ve not been trying or am ignoring this news. I’ll keep trying though :–)

Isn’t Robert Scoble also considered a ProBlogger? I agree. He should be interviewed here on how his problogging got him to this status in the blogosphere.

I’ve seen an awful lot of blogs mentioning Scoble in the last few days and the story even got on the fron tpage of the BBC yesterday. I think there are too many top category bloggers saying that they really don’t care about this but then mentioning it anyway, perhaps in a sheep like fashion as brem mentions above or perhaps to get some of the free technorati juice. Of all the top tier blog sites mentioning it, the last one to be ashamed about it or seemingly disinterested should be Problogger!! This is a site about problogging, you shiould get out there and interview the guy or something!!! About blogging, microsoft, podcasts or whatever else seems most relevant to you in blogging terms. Or even do a vlog of him talking about problogging and microsoft or whatever takes your fancy.

Since there are so many stories of people losing their jobs through blogging, it is nice to also hear that the reverse can also apply.

I got my job pretty much exclusively because of my blog and blogging. There is little doubt about it.

Do all the people blogging about Scoble changing job do it because they are sheep and want to do like their peer, or are they doing it because there is nothing else happening in the world?!? !

Who really cares about this guy’s job?

Or rather, why should *I* care? :)
