Robert Scoble, Microsoft’s Geek Blogger, is leaving Microsoft to join a Silicon Valley Video Blogging startup. Yahoo news article here.

He is making a good move into a field I feel strongly about. I don’t know if you have checked out much of the vlogs that are out there, but the impression that I get from checking out many of the truly interesting stuff that is out there is: This is the future of media. I already have RSS feeds on Google Reader, and just downloaded the Democracy Player to get my regular updates of Rocketboom, Mobuzz, and GeekBrief, not to mention Hak5. I don’t have a TV but I am getting addicted to net-based programming, and the Democracy player is scratching that itch.

I am trying to figure out my angle on vlogging - I fantasize about getting into the scene with a comedy video blog, but for now I am like Chauncy Gardener in Being There: I like to watch.
