Robert Scoble
Technical Evangelist
Scobleizer
Robert Scoble is an "evangelist"
who works for Microsoft and maintains the
popular blog, Scobleizer. He lives in Bothell, Washington.
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). He publishes his cell phone number on his blog and urges people to contact him directly with issues, as well as accepting comments on his blog.
Scoble has long been known as a prominent advocate of both RSS technology and the Tablet PC. He has previously been involved with both these technologies in a professional capacity: at NEC Mobile Solutions, where he was sales support manager, and UserLand Software, where he was director of marketing.
He and Shel
Israel have written a book about business blogging entitled Naked Conversations, which was released in January 2006. More information can be found on the book's promotional website.
Besides blogging, Scoble is part of the Channel9 MSDN Videos team producing educational and evangelist mini-films targeted towards students and professional developers.
