Why does anyone care what Scoble thinks? His prediction record is somewhat less than stunning.

Isn't it obvious by now that Scoble & A-list bloggers are just as clueless and hype-prone as mainstream media? Or are we still waiting for Silverlight to reboot the Web?



Scoble faces some of the same pressures and and incentives as the mainstream media; a need to be relevant, timely and first. It is what defines the 'A-list'; they are the bloggers who most resemble the establishment media.

That said, on this issue I think I agree with him, but my response is different; as a facebook refusenik and Crotchety Old Guy (Tm) I'm all for Microsoft borging Facebook and sinking into a giant quagmire of Suck; I just hope they don't take Flickr and the better parts of Yahoo! with them.
