Scoble, White Lies, and Stretch The Truth Serum
Robert Scoble has certainly been through the "Microsoft Stretch The Truth 101" training course. He's been caught stretching the truth when he said this initially:
There are a ton of rumors and allegations flying around the blogosphere about SCO and trying to tie Microsoft in.
A Microsoft exec (Martin Taylor) emailed me last night on this issue.
and then clarified with this after Tim Bray thought this "The New World of PR":
I should clarify that a bit. Microsoft's employees talk internally on hundreds of mailing lists. I am trolling those lists for information that might be interesting or useful to my readers. Last Friday, I saw Martin Taylor's post on one of those lists. I took the relevant pieces of information from it, and posted them.
There were jokes about Scoble drinking the MS cool-aid. Well, now we know that cool-aid is really "stretch the truth" serum.
