Scoble is a great curator and breaker/spreader of startup news. And I think it would be fair to say he's done a good job of pioneering some new forms of social media journalism.
It's true that he's a startup enthusiast, and often looks more like an evangelist for startups. But he's a decent and friendly guy in person, and genuinely believes in the importance of startups.
That's why people quote him, tweet him and support him. He's part of the startup community as much as a person who covers it.
He's one of the good guys, and good on him for supporting and covering startups the way he does.
