Scoble in Microsoft dig

Must have missed this one while I was away, so thanks to the Technology Guardian for their comment piece on how former Microsoft blogger Robert Scoble launched into his former employers on his influential blog.

Scoble got stuck into Microsoft's movements into web technologies, an area that Google are already way ahead of them on:

Scobleizer (published) a rant in response to an event at which Microsoft's "Most Valuable Professionals" were told that the Seattle software behemoth is "in it to win".

"The words are empty," Scoble blasted. "Come on. Ship a better search, a better advertising system than Google, a better hosting service than Amazon and get some services out there that are innovative. Where's the video RSS reader?"

Quite a rant - but not exactly professional and not what you'd expect from one of the leading lights in corporate blogging.
