If Fake Steve Jobs is to be believed, it's possible. Fake Steve, aka Forbes senior editor Dan Lyons writes today: "No announcement yet but we hear it's imminent. Word is that Scoble was planning to bail in January anyway but now he won't have to. Hard to believe PodTech is going under, because they seemed to have such a solid business model." This rumor comes hot on the heels of John Furriers abrupt decision to leave PodTech last week.
Like many folks, I've always enjoyed a lot of the content Robert Scoble has put out over the years, but I've never quite always understood some of the choices he's taken in terms of companies he attaches himself to. PodTech, as I've said many times when I'm asked what exactly they do, is in the business of taking really important topics and making them as uninteresting as possible. With the exception of Robert Scoble's uzi-fire succession interviews, very rarely can I bring myself to go through the hassle of subscribing to some of the podcast feeds I see described on the PodTech side.
