Scoble is experiencing what millions of PR people go through on a daily basis. You can pitch, but reporters/websites/blogs/etc. are free to pick and choose what they want to cover. End of discussion.

Will there ever be a day in which manufacturing plants cease to be deemed "fabs," a term more reminiscent of drugged-out disco queens?

As the blogosphere matures, imho, this will either be increasingly a prevalent attitude or the rest of the "star" bloggers will find other ways to cash in on their 'rockstardom' online. Jeff Jarvis and Arianna Huffington are bloggers in Davos, though one must add that they were names before they started blogging.

OMG PAUL BOUTIN YOU ARE SOOOOOO AGAINST VIDEO BLOG!S!!S!1One!1!1!

YOU TOTALLY DIDN'T LINK TO MY AWESOME VIDEOBLOG, techcheckdaily.com

More to the point, and to distance myself from the obvious plug, I think people are quick to jump in to video without realizing the intracicies of the area. I'd like to believe that I've got video somewhat figured out, but realistically without some sort of budget, I can't afford to get out and shoot more often. I know what videos aren't going to change the interwebs, and I guarentee that a 45-minute piece presented as the primary content isn't going to cut it. Maybe an afterthought for the geeks truly interested in the topic (IE people REALLY obsessed with videogames will dig our full 45 minute playtest with the Xbox720 in addition to a slickly produced shorter video for the masses.)

I'm hoping I've got the solution, and hoping to make more than a measly $250K from my efforts, but we'll see in two years, won't we?

In the meantime, anyone really looking to make videoblogging and podcasting more than a hobby, hit me up. podcasting[at]techcheckdaily[dot]com
