Robert Scoble's Business Card: Part I
If you've been reading this blog, you'll know that myself and Bif are trying to come up with ideas that Robert Scoble might consider using for his next business card. If we come up with something good enough he just might use it!
You know the start of the story behind this one... I went for coffee with some friends of mine, and when I said I was going to a blogging dinner my friend Erinbell said "Oh wow, I love boggle."
I like this idea because besides being funny it also serves to remind that there are still SO many people out there that have no clue what we are talking about when we say 'blog' or 'RSS' or even 'mp3' (as discovered by Seth Godin).
We blogging types can slip into jargon so easily, forgetting not everybody is sitting at their computer 23 hours a day :P
Anyway, I hope you like it.
If you have no clue what I'm on about you might like to check out some of these links:And never fear Robert, if you don't like this one, I'm sure we'll have some more ideas shortly!

I really really like it!
Can you fit 'microsoft' or 'blogging' into the boggle bits as well?
well, Robert Scoble is in there... and MS twice forMicrosoft... will that do?
:P
yes...definately saw robert scoble. ....just seems that there's enough common letters to overlap it if done right. ..hmm.
ouch my brain hurts. ok, you send me the diagram and I'll edit the drawing! :D
hehe..ya mine too. i think i may be wrong actually. i have super-boggle (because i am a super-nerd) which is five squares by five. ...and it would work easily that way. may not fit into four by four (but i'd say sticking with the traditional board is the way to go ;)). i have to go write an exam :P...but i'll try again afterwards.
padraigin emailed me a new letter layout to have Robert, Scoble and Microsoft all in there...
I will do this version up when I get a chance!
Frank,
It is probably 'cos I'm just coming from two days of conferencing on blogs, but despite reading all the relevant posts, I still read the card as "Influential Blogger" - then again maybe my mind is blggled with the amount of entertaining that went on over the two days.
Now, having said all that, I'd love that as my own business card (except I don't look anything like Robert Scoble - you'd have to change that bit of it!)
heh heh heh... I think that's the beauty of it though... it's a double take kind of deal...
Must find time to do the more complex one Padraigin sent me and see what that looks like.
I like it! Although I don't like the title. How about "Microsoft Loudmouth?"
