# Robert Scoble

13 June 2006 · Ray Slakinski

I've had a few conversations with Robert Scoble (link removed) ever since [iPodderX/Transistr](http://transistr.com/) came out and we talked about bringing it to the Windows platform, he was a great help in getting us going and jazzed about that market and hooked us up with some great people. [Chris Pirillo](http://chris.pirillo.com/) really was the one who introduced me, and I've been thankful ever since.

So what I'm saying is that Scoble is a good guy and has done a lot -- a lot more than people think -- for Microsoft and I'm sure he will be sorely missed there. As long as Scoble was at Microsoft I couldn't hate them, they were just a group of people trying to do good work; he gave them a human face.

So now that Rob is leaving Microsoft for [PodTech](http://podtech.net/), can I go back to hating them? ;)
