I wish some of our politicians would do a similar self-assessment.

Something was published on Twitter about how Scoble was fired when really he wasn't. Valleywag picked up on the fake firing story and went to town with it. Valleywag has essentially been the paparazzi for scoble.

They are angry. Confrontational. Disturbed. Hurt. Dismayed.</EM>
<EM>Those are not words to describe someone in a state of mind to improve the world. Part of it is so many people are making stuff up about me and/or my employer without any care as to my feelings or the truth that I’ve got to get some distance…. It really depresses me cause I thought blogging would be a tool for humans to get smarter, not stupider.</EM>
<EM>So, I’m going to try something else for a while…. In our book Naked Conversations I wrote that a good blog is “authoritative and passionate.” Truth is that when I looked at Steve Ball’s baby I realized I’ve been neither….I’ll be back blogging when I can add value again.</EM></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1CB8423D-1D50-4B69-9622-D1F91EE617F6/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
