I just got this little gem in my email –

Ross, Saw your piece on Scoble -- thought this might be of interest -- also from ex-MS people

The email came from a BuzzAgent who works for a company that claims to be “a marketing communications company focused on emerging and established technology and financial services companies and the companies that serve and support them”.

There’s a small problem here though. I haven’t written anything about Scoble in a long time. My take is that the writer is trying to leverage the frenzy of posts around Scoble’s departure from Microsoft to benefit of one of his clients.

Nice try.

Too bad about the underhanded tactics. I was looking forward to telling all my readers about the really cool public beta that your client is launching today. I’m sure many of them would be very suprised to find “how easy it is to create [their] own zany morning show, tell a funny joke, read a poem, or go on a political diatribe.”

No link, no love and no thanks regarding the special briefing.
