Robert Scoble prepares for "Naked Conversations" with Spears.

The Spears announcement was made at DataPortability's first board meeting since its membership surge. But turmoil broke out when mega-blogger, and new board member Robert Scoble handed out copies of his book "Naked Conversations", and insisted that all board members disrobe. Although Spears cheerfully complied, the others declined. As Mr. Scoble stripped to a Brazilian thong, one board member bolted from the room, screaming, "My eyes, my eyes!" Lacking a quorum, the meeting was adjourned.
