Robert Scoble, The Scobleizer, to leave Fast Company

*updated*

Robert Scoble, The Scobleizer, to leave Fast CompanyBlogger and tech evangelist megastar Robert Scoble (link to wikipedia entry) is leaving his full time post at FastCompany.tv.

Scoble joined FastCompany.tv a year ago and has released a series of quality interviews with many a tech entrepreneur/industry leader, some of which I will list below this post. According to Arrington at Techcrunch, Scoble will continue to write a column for the company but video interviews and alike are over.
