Exit Interview with Scoble

capt turnpike writes "It's no secret that Windows technology evangelist Robert Scoble (of Scobelizer blogging fame) is leaving Microsoft for a startup, but Microsoft Watch's Mary Jo Foley has the first exit interview with Scoble. Topics range from what Microsoft could have done to keep him spreading the word and building out MS's Channel 9 community site, where he sees MS going and more. From the article: 'There were times when I knew I was taking risks. I didn't know what would happen when I told Steve Ballmer that his leadership on the gay rights bill wasn't good.'"

Wow, it takes on a whole new meaning when you add some punctuation and capitalize Bill:

I didn't know what would happen when I told Steve Ballmer that his leadership on the gay rights: Bill, wasn't good.'

What's wrong is that the GP is jealous.

Lacking Challenge?

If Scoble is looking for something to keep him excited, I have the pefect recipe: be a Windows Evangelist on /.

I think that he's smart enough not to burn bridges.
