Speaker : Robert Scoble

Technical Evangelist, Microsoft
Blog : Scobleizer

Robert Scoble is a "technical evangelist" who works for Microsoft and maintains the popular blog, Scobleizer. Besides blogging, Scoble is part of the Channel9 MSDN Videos team producing educational and evangelist mini-films targeted towards students and professional developers.

Although Scoble often promotes Microsoft products like Tablet PCs and Windows Vista, at the same time he criticises his own employer and praises its competitors (like Apple and Google).

Scoble has long been known as a prominent advocate of both RSS technology and the Tablet PC, two technologies that he has previously been involved in in a professional capacity, at NEC Mobile Solutions, where he was sales support manager, and UserLand Software, where he was director of marketing.

Also related to blogging, Scoble has written, along with Shel Israel, a book about business blogging entitled Naked Conversations. Early chapter drafts and related book material can be found on the books promotional website [1].
