Robert Scoble Credit Due Monday, June 12th, 2006

Robert Scoble (if Robert’s life becomes a TV move Phillip Seymour Hoffman is a shoe in)

Robert is in the news at the moment as he has just announced he is leaving Microsoft to join a new start up.
You can find out about him here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Scoble

My Clients who Blog, do so because I have shown them the benefits. Some did it even under duress until they saw the positive effect of inbound targeted visitors to their websites.

However before I take all the credit I have to admit……..

It took Robert Scoble to show me. That was some 385 Blog Posts ago.

I wanted to use Blogging to share information and news that interested me and the types of clients I deal with.

A practical example I use is I have 13 videos about technology on this site that have been downloaded in their hundreds, so I am reaching a new audience, a global audience.

I have never met Robert but he has had a profound affect on how I perceive communication (in this century).

As Robert moves on to a new and exciting future I just want to say thanks.
