Inveterate dabbler in business, travel, gadgets & life
Ellee has taken on board Orya’s new company Scribble and published a press release here. Orya is a Ruby on Rails guy who I convinced to come to the Our Social World conference last year.
It will be interesting to see how the concept of internet ordered handwritten greeting cards takes off. I’m sure Ellee will be able to get the press release into some prime spots.
According to Dan Farber at ZDNet “Furrier (Podtech CEO) said. Part of the investment is giving Scoble a significant equity stake of the PodTech.net” which is good news indeed if my previous post proves correct.
Good take on the story by Doc Searls here. and he links to my previous post 🙂

Great news about Robert Scoble leaving Microsoft to join a start up podcasting outfit Podtech, yep the news crashed their servers! Podtech recently received Series A $5.5million in financing
Its funny, I was only talking to Doc Searls at Reboot saying that I was sure that Robert was about to pack his bags just from the tone of his recent postings.
My bet is that Microsoft will buy Podtech up and get Scoble back into Microsoft. This time at a much higher level in the organisation. Lets hope he’s savvy enough to have stiched up a good stock deal with Podtech. Remember you heard it here first 🙂

Pretty awesome stuff this. Marcus Frind who set up and runs, on his own, the free dating site Plenty of Fish has a piccy of his cheque for two months worth of clicks from Google and its for 991,733 Canadian dollars or 480,561 pounds thats around 8000 pounds a day! His main cost is the hosting charges at 6,500 pounds a month. Wow.
I wonder if the mobsters will now start to blackmail him like with Alex Tew
