The power of going alone

Ad Age covers the departures of Robert Scoble, Om Malik, and Thomas Hawk to smaller ventures that will end up being bigger for them:

But unlike the former three, the latter hundreds didn’t find their opportunities by first becoming household brand names online.

Messrs. Scoble, Malik and Hawk-respectively, a Microsoft technologist, a Business 2.0 magazine writer and an investment-adviser-turned-photographer-may be relatively unknown names in the general populace. But they are among the elite in the blog world.

    Scoble isn’t a technologist. He’s a technology advocate.
