Is Scoble leaving Microsoft?

Andy Plesser from Plesser Holland and the videoblog Beet.tv just called and told me Robert Scoble is leaving Microsoft and will join Podtech.net, the podcasting network. He will be moving from Seattle to Silicon Valley.

There’s no confirmation on this from Scoble yet.

Update: 11:20pm CST. This appears to be the real deal. Even Chris Pirillo says it’s real. Looks like Scoble is joining Podtech.net as a Videoblogger. We’re pinging some sources. Much discussion about this over at Techmeme.
