Robert Scoble has been hanging out with Mike Arrington a lot lately, or so it would seem. Ever since he was announced as a "TechCrunch Expert" back in mid-August, he's been channeling the fervor and unqualified attacks we generally only see come from Mike after he's been on a three week blogging bender with no sleep.And don't get me wrong - we all know Mike Arrington is a jerk.

Metallica’s new album has leaked out a week or two early, unsurprisingly. It isn’t surprsing because it’s Metallica, but that it happens to most every artist these days. Some record store somewhere will sell a copy or two earlier than they should, one of those folks will share it with their friends, and lickety-split, it’s all over the Intertubes. In this case, that’s almost exactly what happened, according to Blabbermouth METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich has ...

The cult of Scientology can't keep the pulp science fiction and quack psychology of founder L. Ron Hubbard in print merely through sheer force of will. Instead, it's with a state-of-the-art production facility in Commerce, Calif. featuring the latest printers from Hewlett-Packard. The plant is owned by the church through a company called Bridge Publications, whose unique experience in modern print production was enough to land Blake Silber, vice president of production at Bridge, a ...

What, though, is a passionate (sometimes referred to as an ‘evangelist’)? What is the definition of an early-adopter? Quite simply, and perhaps obviously, it’s ...

I'm lame and square. I cannot figure out what business purpose Twitter or Facebook or even Friend Feed would serve in my line of work. I'm currently within an IT department inside a financial firm. The marketing folks probably use Twitter and etc. to monitor what all the early adopters are saying about the firm, and maybe partake in the conversation, but there's no application for an IT department whose clients are all internal and whose conversations should definitely continue to be internal.
