Cellan-Jones and Scobleizer

Scoble and Cellan-Jones
Rory Cellan-Jones, the Tech Correspondent for the Beeb, has interviewed Robert Scoble at his Half Moon Bay home in California. This is quite an intriguing interview – as much for the plethora of Seesmic Desktop screens that Robert has had installed on his desk. I can just about cope with my little Inspiron.
It’s interesting that Robert is predicting that Facebook is going to continue being the gorilla of the social networking space rather than Twitter – largely because, according to Scoble, Facebook acts as a portal into the wider social networking community such as the big blogs and even Twitter itself via the Twitter app. People tend to stick around more on Facebook as it’s more than a one trick pony.
Robert’s relationship with Facebook has been patchy – and he seemed keen to push Friendfeed in the past, although that outfit has had its fair share of woes.
More interesting though is Scoble’s prediction that Google is likely to be the stalking horse in the social networking space. Government needs to take note.
