Robert Scoble: A gentleman & a blogger

Instead of breaking the story about Terry Semel stepping down, Scoble finished an interview he was working on:

So, just before interviewing Sun Microsystems’ DTrace team today (that’s a photo of them) I got a call from a source. He said “Semel is out. Yang is taking over.” This is why I am not a good journalist. I didn’t drop everything, tell the three geeks to hang on while I banged out a post, etc. Instead I went on with the interview, which was a lot of fun.

Lately, it feels like there’s an obsession with breaking stories amogn bloggers. It’s nice to see that someone is interested diving deep into substance versus breaking the latest sound bite.
