The point for me, in terms of 'selling out' is not the advertising on Scoble's blog but the fact that Fast Company has essentially taken ownership of it as part of Rob's move to FC. He's lost the independence. I don't care about the ads - I'm more concerned that FC 'redesigning' his blog = it becoming an FC blog, and thus not an independent voice of Scoble. No one seems to have picked that up, and alas, this gets lost in the ether of the wally comments. bah, I hate commenting on techcrunch - it’s the tradgegy of the ‘passionate but ill informed’ (”San: I don’t know who Dave Winer is, but you must not know Mr Arrington” haha) combined with nuggets of gold (#88).
