Jon Udell is leaving InfoWorld and joining Microsoft. He will join the same group (Channel 9) where Robert Scoble worked. I met Jon 5 years ago when I was at Groove Networks and Jon was writing for InfoWorld. Jon not only writes about technology, he is a very skilled software technologist.
Scoble says about Jon "Wow. I think it’s funny that Jon asked himself whether he’d be Microsoft’s new “Scoble.” Hell, I was trying to be as good as Jon Udell was (and I came up short — he’s a coder that can explain how to program to other people, and has far more influence among developers than I’ll ever hope to have).
Most people in the software development community know Jon Udell. He is a superstar writer and technologist. He has a different writing style than Scoble, no one can replace Scoble. However, Jon is a software coder who not only writes about it, he codes it, tests it, and digs down into feature/function comparisons better than anyone I know. Microsoft scored big getting Jon on the team! Congratulations to Jeff
