Literally. He had the first ride in the first Tesla. Siri was launched in his house. He's been the first to share all sorts of technologies and companies with you, from Flipboard to Pandora to Instagram. Today he's focusing on mixed reality, AKA "next-generation augmented reality" which will include a new user interface for EVERYTHING in your life (IoT, Smart Cities, driverless cars, robots, drones, etc). That's based on his view thanks to his past experience as futurist at Rackspace. Best place to find Scoble? On his Facebook profile at https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble He has been a technology blogger since 2000, was one of five people who built Microsoft's Channel 9 video blog/community, worked at Fast Company Magazine running its TV efforts, and has been part of technology media businesses since 1993. ++++++++ SPEAKER PITCH: Apple and Facebook now have revealed their Augmented Reality strategies, which means your business needs one too. Rely on Robert Scoble, the world's top authority on AR, to bring to your conference what businesses should do next. SPEECH ABSTRACT #1: TITLE: The Fourth Transformation: What's next in mixed reality (AR and AI) and the future of technology? Here's an example of this talk at Leade.rs in Paris in April, 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI Why "the Fourth Transformation?" Soon we will have phones and glasses that do full on augmented reality. Everything you look at will potentially be augmented. This world is coming in late 2017 with a new iPhone from Apple, amongst other products. Microsoft is betting everything on its HoloLens glasses that do mixed reality and the industry is spending many billions of dollars in R&D and funding new companies like Magic Leap. This future will be the user interface for IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous cars, robots, drones, and your TV. This is a big deal and Robert will take you through what mixed reality is and how it will change every business. Learn more about Robert's speaking style and contact his agent at http://odemanagement.com/robert-scoble/Robert-Scoble.html ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #2: "The Next Two Clicks of Moore's Law." Over the next four years, or two clicks of Moore's Law, a ton about our technology world will change. Scoble will bring you the best from his travels visiting R&D labs, startups, and innovators around the world. He views the world through his rose-colored-mixed-reality glasses, which will be the new user interface for self driving cars, Smart Cities, IoT, and many other things in our world. He'll send you off with some lessons for companies both large and small. ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #3: "Personalized Meaning: What is Augmented Reality For?" As we enter a far more technological world where even cars drive themselves, I predict we'll see a blowback toward the analog, more authentic world. What role does augmented reality play in both worlds? Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

You know, Robert, what’s amazing to me is how much work is being done with the Live.com/Start.com site, as well as all of the other ‘cool’/’it’/’now’ sites like Google IG, Netvibes, Eskobo, Pageflakes, favoor, Protopage, Zoozio, Goowy, Gritwire, Bob’s Really Cool and Interactive Ajax Page, etc.
Yet, after logging into My MSN the other day, I think the site represents near perfection in mixing old-school Web 1.0 portals (MSN, Yahoo, Netscape, etc.) with Web 2.0 interactivity and personalization.
Browser compatibility blows, but I actually prefer the site over Live.com/Start.com. Once I add my own RSS feeds and remove all of the other extraneous content, the site is terrific. Resizable columns, multiple column layouts (2/3/4+), multiple pages, themes, access to content from multiple paths. What’s not to like (other than the utter lack of cross-platform support!)
Sure a site like Protopage allows you to go crazy with sizing individual widgets and some personalization features not available on Microsoft’s sites. But, My MSN actually allows a tremendous amount of customization without totally confusing the majority of web users. It’s a shame My MSN is so well hidden from users (as is Google IG, My Yahoo, etc.).
I hope developers don’t drop My MSN, and continue developing in parallel with Live.com. Bringing in the Widget API would be terrific for My MSN, too. Throw the two sites in front of usability groups and let them duke it out.

Well, I am recently starting to use some of the features at Live and let me just say that Microsoft got it right this time. I am particularly excited by Windows OneCare. Goodbye Symantec! Hello Microsoft! I will even pay when you guys want to charge.
