Traps for 'big name' bloggers or when you shoot your mouth off

Robert Scoble - whose blog I read and enjoy - is Microsoft's Uber Blogger and Evangelist. However he landed himself in spomehot water when he stated categorically that [emphasis his] "Sorry, if you do a marketing site and you don't have an RSS feed today you should be fired. I'll say it again. You should be fired if you do a marketing site without an RSS feed."

Well Michael Gartenberg from Jupiter Research very nicely disagrees. His explanation is well thought out and rational, the opposite of most of Scobles blog posts that are passionate and creative.

The moral is to either be careful what you say on your site; think through the results and impacts of what you say (just as in real life) or post in the heat of passion, but be prepared to face the consequences.

Thanks to the Business Blog Consulting for the tip on the comments.
