I think too much of a thing is being made about him. I suspect that most people have no clue about who he is, so how could he have single-handedly "softened" Microsoft's image? He's popular within this peculiar little world of bloggers who think they're important in the geek world. But, y'know, so what? This isn't like blogging was a couple years ago where only the hardcore were doing it. There's zillions of blogs nowadays. Um, Scoble is just some guy.

I wrote a piece for Microsoftweblog.com suggesting he was about to join Google. He denied it, but he's already crossed your line.

Usefulness will always outlive perception as long as his worth to Microsoft is greater than his debt. The minute he begins to belittle the products Microsoft sells is the minute Scoble's usefulness will cease.
