Big Impact. Scoble's mission remains to find and report bleeding edge technology. Scoble left Rackspace to join UploadVR in 2016 as an entrepreneur in residence. Allegations of sexual harassment and assault On October 20, 2017, the news outlet BuzzFeed published a story that alleges that in 2010, Scoble sexually assaulted Michelle Greer, his Rackspace coworker, and Quinn Norton, a technology journalist. Scoble apologized after the BuzzFeed article was published, saying that he has been working towards making amends ever since becoming sober two years ago. However, several women countered this claim, reporting that he made inappropriate advances during the time period he claimed to be sober. Days later, he deleted his apology, and proclaimed his innocence in a blog post that also announced his new company, LightPitch. One immediate reaction was by the VR/AR Association (VRARA), stating: "In light of recent news and allegations of sexual harassment by Robert Scoble, the VR/AR Association has formally removed Robert from our Board of Advisors. Our organization does not condone harassment of any kind, and feel that this is the best course of action." Scoble resigned from the Transformation Group, his AR consulting firm, which he co-founded in late 2016. Appearances In November, 2013, Scoble was co-keynote speaker with Shel Israel at the 2013 Telstra Australian Digital Summit. Scoble and Israel talked to their book titled "Age of Context: Mobile, Sensors, Data and the Future of Privacy". On April 1, 2008, The Register ran an April fool's spoof claiming Robert Scoble was actually an IBM bot. On November 14, 2007, he was a contestant on a game show at NewTeeVee Live featuring other internet celebrities such as Veronica Belmont, Casey McKinnon, Cali Lewis, Kevin Rose, Justin Kan, and others. On November 6, 2006, Scoble appeared as a panelist on a Chinese Software Professionals Association event called "The New Age of Influence: The Impact of Social Computing on Media and Marketing". Milliscoble In September 2008, Follow cost, a website that calculated how annoying it would be to follow anyone on Twitter, invented the milliscoble unit of measurement defined as: "1/1000 of the average daily Twitter status updates by Robert Scoble as of 10:09 CST September 25, 2008." At that time, Scoble was averaging 21.21 tweets per day, so a milliscoble is 0.02121 tweets per day. A person with a milliscoble rating of 1000 will be as annoying to follow as Scoble.
