"I told him he was brilliant and that his moves this month would be remembered for decades. Decades."

I'm amazed Scoble's been able to keep his tall talk intact after this many years of announcing next big things that never go anywhere. But I'll say this for the guy -- he's perky.

"Zuckerberg is a real leader because he doesn’t care what anyone thinks. He’s going to do what he thinks is best for his business. I wish Silicon Valley had more like him."

Well, you have got to realize that this is part of Scoble's job—he is a technology evangelist (among other things) by trade. A large number of his statements are inherently biased, and that's OK; it's not like you have to pay him any heed. I certainly don't.
