John Furrier Out at PodTech

John Furrier, PodTech Founder, has noted on his blog that effective this week he is no longer an employee of PodTech. Back in mid-August, John stepped down from the CEO role and became an employee. John is the largest common shareholder in PodTech stock will remain on the PodTech board.

James McCormick began the CEO role in August and so far I haven't seen or heard much from him. I hope he reviews my 5 suggestions to improve PodTech.

Self-proclaimed A-list blogger Robert Scoble is part of the team at PodTech. Robert is an excellent marketer but what I have found as of late is that he seems to be promoting b2c technologies including Kyte.TV and his new find Seesmic. If Robert wants to make PodTech a success, he needs to realize that he is now on the b2b side and should focus his time and attention more in that direction. I do think with the right focus PodTech could be successful, it just feels so 1995 when I look at the site. Scoble's name can help but can't do it all alone.

Check out John's keynote address at the MIT Web Conference earlier this year.
