Michael Gartenberg, a fairly unknown industry analyst at Jupiter Research (you probably don’t know the name, but chances are you will have read his work) has been appointed as the new Robert Scoble at Microsoft.

Gartenberg, based in New York, writes that his new position as enthusiast evangelist will see him finding, engaging and working with enthusiasts and other influencers and demonstrating to them all the “cool stuff that Microsoft is doing” and to act as a bridge between Microsoft and end users. Scoble’s old job. Now all he needs to do is put on 20 kg and piss a whole pile of people off, then he’ll be set for life :-)
