LAist Interview: Robert Scoble at Community Next in Hollywood

Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

We ran into former Microsoftee and current FastCompany.tv man and ubiquitous Web 2.0 presence Robert Scoble at Hollywood & Highland today, in front of Level 3 Nightclub, where Community Next: The Next Generation of Media and the Web is underway.

After being caught on Scobleizer's live streaming Qik-cast, we took him and his Starbucks aside and drilled him about tech in LA, the inevitable Yahoo/Microsoft outcome, whether Steve Ballmer is fit to carry on as a CEO, and much more.
