Whhhheeeeeeeee! Up, up in the sky, its Google’s Flipboard killer, which also might strafe Facebook, too!

Robert Scoble Explains His Attempted Worldwide Domination of Google+ (Video)

While at an event yesterday, I ran smack into Silicon Valley tech personality Robert Scoble, the man who never met a social network he didn’t try to hijack. So, of course, Scooby-Don’t — as I like to call him — has been one the more active users of the new offering from the search giant, which some have complained is breathtaking both in its speed and its scale of digital pollution.

How About #Dontvoteforme, So BoomTown Gets the No. 140 Spot in Time's Tweet-Off

Yes, it is perverse, but I really want to come in dead last in Time magazine’s “140 Best Twitter Feeds.” Why?

Plus, we knew he was our kind of geek after he agreed to spend the night in a tent next to Robert Scoble, to cover last year’s Apple iPad release. Drake will be working on a range of things for ATD, from social and multimedia efforts to site analytics to discovering and writing about promising but nascent tech start-ups.

The tech media were catching up on sleep this week after all that iPad build up. It was years of speculation, of rumor mills and photoshopped images. This week, finally, at long last, we all got our hands on one of these little guys and now we can stop talking about it. Right.
