Moblogging scoble interview from blogcamp.in

Scoble – its a real honor to speak to you all. I’m speaking to you on a Mac via Skype. You can see me and I can see you all as well. I have been blogging for 5 years since 2000. I googled and found about 200 blogs then. Then I started my own blog at MS. Now I am working for Podtech. Th whole thing about how my story of leaving Microsoft is a powerful example of blogging and word of mouth. Within 48 hours I had millions of page impressions on my site. 80percent of customers of my company (couldn’t hear the name clearly) came from word of mouth. Back then, you had to have true word of mouth. Now you have blogs, emails and other forms to get word of mouth going. Going back to my leaving MS, I had told about 15 people who started blogging and then the word got out quickly to create an avalanche of traffic. Microsoft had an RSS aggregator which spread the news to hundreds of blogs. A cool RSS aggregator is built into Vista. Talks about Techmeme and how they track a few hundred key bloggers and started tracking their linking behavior which gives rise to the stories moving up on Techmeme. I (scoble) actually start my morning reading Techmeme to see the important stories. Talks about MS – they hire lots of smart people. MS and open source – lots of groups starting to do open source. When I joined Podtech I had to fly back and forth to Seatlle and Silicon Valley until I found a perm place here in Silicon Valley. My thoughts on Indian blogosphere –
I read a few blogs, they give me a sense for what life is like in India and they help bridge my world and your world. Talks about offshring of programming and manufacturing jobs. I see that as a +ve because it forces us here to keep ahead, learn new things. We need you all Indian bloggers to help build bridges. Talks on best podcasting platform – don’t understand the question. My son has 6gb of podcasts downloaded using Itunes. Talks about Odeo for podcasting creation platform. Itunes is a good distribution platform. Talks about how even Z-list bloggers can make you famous (not sure I heard right) as much as A-list bloggers.  Mentions about Technorati (couldn’t hear clearly what he said sorry). Talks about some product that allows you to improve your baseball swing (not clear what product it is). Most people seem to be listening intently.  Now taking questions from Audience:
More to come.
