PodTech, the company that Robert Scoble works for has been reported as being dead. Of course Scoble came out with a blast that denies all of that. It seems that PodTech is a company that is every bloggers fodder lately.
This is quite troubling as now, if a blogger writes it, it seems to be fact. The difference between a blogger and a real blogger is the ones that go to the painstaking research that a good person would do. Now, even though Fake Steve Jobs does things for fun most of the time, I think that making statements such as this in the past were grounds for a lawsuit.
But that brings up an interesting point, as with the new world of blogs as “news” that we live in, are they really protected by any type of laws of the modern world? I mean, could PodTech/Scoble file a lawsuit against Fake Steve Jobs?
This is an interesting issue, as it would be very new waters to try in the court system. It could be a landmark case that would set precedence for years to come. It might also clean up the blogosphere entirely.
Technically Speaking, I for one would be interested in seeing what legal actions PodTech/Scoble intend to take for future speculation that comes out as a blog post for everyone to read and believe. baby clothes
