Noah’s guide to the Internet

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Since there are a few people who started blogs since my talk at Engelbart’s house yesterday (great writeup on that is here, by the way, thanks to Eileen Clegg and Jeff Saperstein) this is very timely: Noah Kagan has a 2006 Guide to the Internet. Noah says this is the “essential list of sites you need to know to become hip with Web 2.0 or throw down impressive sites at geek parties.

I appreciate being on that list, but think it’s missing a few. I can’t live without a good blog search engine. Choose between Technorati, Feedster, Pubsub, Icerocket, or Google’s blog search (right now I like Technorati better, but that changes daily). I also would put Memeorandum on this list (there are two Memeorandums, one for tech news, and one for politics/current event news — they change every few minutes.

Funny story my son told yesterday. I asked him during our discussion “why did you pick Blogger?” He said “I was bored one day so searched on Google for ‘how do you start a blog?’ The first link was to blogger.”

But, what he said next showed a great deal of astuteness: “of course Blogger is first cause Google owns Blogger.” That shows the power that being the top link on Google has.

Anyway when people ask me: How do you start a blog? I answer: WordPress.com. My wife says she recommends MSN Spaces when people ask her how to blog. Why? Cause it makes it harder to comment so she finds she doesn’t get as many negative comments as I do.

Oh, Eileen, I never owned a camera store. I helped run the camera section of LZ Premiums in the 1980s and early 1990s.

But, back to the topic: what sites do you think deserve to be on a “guide to the Internet?”

Oh, several people lately have been asking me about RSS. I like the BBC’s “what is RSS?” page for that answer.

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.

  3. Noah, cool, I would probably send folks to BBC or sites like that then. Yahoo Finance. A good news site. A good email client.

  5. Harder to comment? And that’s a good feature? Merely making something hard to use, doesn’t equal goodwill. She doesn’t attract the “negative posters”, because she is a private person, and not of the hyperbole sort, she is not a spokesperson for a quite controversial company, and she is not one given to crazy loony statements that are half said just for their traffic value. If you’d switch to MSN Spaces, you’d still get the “negative” flack. For I’d be there. 🙂

    Wow, what would be the marketing tagline? MSN Spaces: Harder to Comment, Less Conversations!

  7. Christopher: believe me, in talking with people that’d be just fine with some folks.

    But, you can always add comments to something hard to comment on (or, even impossible). Just start a blog of your own!

  9. I’d substitute Newsgator for Bloglines, but that’s a personal preference. Only one immediate thought on anything missing, especially if we are talking non-tech, which is that I’d add Pandora.

  11. Me, I can’t live without flickr, memeorandum, technorati, and a spanish Digg clone called meneame.net.

    Ok, maybe this last one is too local for the guide… 😎

  18. Hi Robert: I’m glad you liked the article Jeff and I wrote. It was a way for me to get a debrief and write a story about your event at Engelbart’s, while I was stranded in soggy Sonoma Cuonty. I made the correction, my apologies for the error. Looking forward to meeting you in person next time.
