One word, unless you've followed him beyond some magazine articles about him, synonymous with Robert Scoble is "blogger." One of the originals, Scoble literally wrote the book on the topic. And now, well, he seems to be disillusioned with the whole damn thing.
Is Scoble Over Blogging?
That's a heavy question, one that apparently pulled Scoble into the depths of blogging despair:
Tonight I looked over my Twitters and blogs. They are angry. Confrontational. Disturbed. Hurt. Dismayed.
Those are not words to describe someone in a state of mind to improve the world. Part of it is so many people are making stuff up about me and/or my employer without any care as to my feelings or the truth that I’ve got to get some distance…. It really depresses me cause I thought blogging would be a tool for humans to get smarter, not stupider.
So, I’m going to try something else for a while…. In our book Naked Conversations I wrote that a good blog is “authoritative and passionate.” Truth is that when I looked at Steve Ball’s baby I realized I’ve been neither….I’ll be back blogging when I can add value again.
