Welcome to Smuggle Me

Scoble (from Windows Blogging fame) has started what he’s calling the Scoble show. It’s essentially a video blog where he interviews people from the tech industry.

If you haven’t read his blog it’s a pretty good one. He just has access to things that I don’t. One day maybe I’ll be as cool as him. Nah. Probably not. Most of the parties and things he goes to I don’t want to go to. However, I think he is pretty innovative in what he’s been able to accomplish in blogging. He also is on Wordpress.com. I beat him in the Top 5 once, but then they tore my site down for TOS violation. However, almost a month later they decided to put it back up. Don’t ask me what happened, but I’m glad it’s back. Too bad my 8000 views a day is now 5.
