So, I am at the Media Relations Summit 2008 this week. Today, I got to meet the man, the scobleizer. Robert Scoble, the original Microsoft blogger literaly wrote the book on blogging in a corporate environment and I got to meet him today. He was the keynote speaker and I went to a small breakout presentation featuring him as well.

He was a very nice guy and possibly the most interconnected (on the Web) human on the planet.

I just wanted to share some of the cool new things that he told us about with all of you:

-Scoble currently chooses to view the Web through a program called FriendFeed. He literally shocked the audience when he showed how this program aggregated his blog, social networks, feeds, twitter and much more. He watches thousands of his friends at once. It was totally scifi geeky greatness.

-He also introduced Memes to many of the audience. These are good logs of the top 2,000 or so blogs on a subject. Check out Techmeme.com for a good example. These are pretty cool too.

-He told us about a ton of cool sites and programs. Also check out Qik, Office 2.0 and SlideRocket. There are tons more. Let me know what you think. I would love to discuss with anyone.

Sally Falkow interviewed Scoble and she got some great quotes. Check out the interview at: Sally.

Thanks for reading. Your friend,

Hey Everyone,

Now that I finished Seth Godin’s Meatball Sundae. It was great. I really buy into the whole, every ad is spam and users hate spam idea.

So, now I am reading the Scobleizer’s treatise on blogging. Microsoft’s Robert Scoble, he comes highly recommended to me from a few friends. So, I am pretty excited to get into it. I just don’t know if he will be as funny and upbeat as Godin.

Has anyone read Naked Conversations before? What did you think of it? Is it only blogs, or does it hint at other new media realms.

Holla,

Bill
