Blowhard [multi-personality name-dropping credit-stealing clueless Web 2.0 dweeb] blogger who's fallen ass-backwards into the limelight, yes. Pond scum rises to the top in this town.
Incidentally, Samsung has been besting Seagate in all our tests, maybe the CEO should spend less time with blog and press blowhards, and get his Enterprise ship in order.
I'd like to consider myself reasonably intelligent and pretty aware of what's going on in Silicon Valley, and generally with the businesses contained within.
But for the life of me, I had never heard of this guy before Valleywag started this almost-meta coverage, and from what I can tell this guy is just another blowhard blogger who's fallen ass-backwards into the spotlight.
Can someone enlighten me?
I realize that Scoble is working for a dead-end company on a contract that ends simultaneously with his wife's maternity leave. That said, if he's going to be spending time networking instead of caring for his newborn, shouldn't it be better invested than going to the Halo party and hanging with these idiots?
If he said he was in the company of Arrington and Calacanis then maybe I'd be impressed.
