At this point, I need to make clear that while both Scoble and I work at the Redmond campus, he's a Microsoft employee and I'm not. I'm there as a vendor, or, in the colloquialism of the campus, an "orange badge". We have never met, and I have no reason to support his position on this, other than I think he's right and Kedrosky's wrong.
I do think that every blogger who's collecting a check from Google's AdSense program should examine their own ability to write sans-prejudice when it comes to issues like this, before throwing stones at Scoble.
Oh, one last thing. I just read Nicholas Carr's reply to Scoble wherein he calls him "Microsoft's kept blogger". Come on, Nick. Is that really necessary? Isn't the argument against a possible Google bias among bloggers sufficiently strong for you to not have to resort to an ad-hominem?
