I love conferences that put all their content up online so everyone around the world can watch. All the videos from this week’s Lift conference are now online. I wish the videos were available as downloadable files, though. The streaming quality is a bit spotty in my hotel room.
Lift videos now up

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.'

Not just your hotel. It’s too bad. I was looking forward to seeing Hugh Macleod’s presentation. However, the audio format seems to stream just fine.
Downloads good. Streaming bad (at least until we all get real broadband in the U.S.).

In one of your videos, you said that if you are not up in the Google results, you don’t exist in business.
Hmm, what about yellow pages then? Don’t yellow pages predate Google when it comes to finding a plumber in your area?
One of today’s problems with finding plumbers in your area is not only to find one, it’s to find one that is not busy with other people. How is Google better than yellow pages in this regard?
Those services that help us are either already in place, or are not in place at all.
That Google rank impresses you is fine, I personally find myself gaming Google every two days by just adding a particular keyword in one of my web pages. You may build the business by spending your daily time gaming this system. Is this any sign of progress?

I was at LIFT06 and thought you really made some valid points about corporate communications and blogging. There was one point, where you said that most PR/Comm people don’t want a dialogue with their audiences – they like one way communication like press releases.
But I say they shouldn’t- why?
The latest research on corporate communication shows that the most effective communication occurs when there is a two way dialogue with an audience – that’s the best way to build a relationship, influence an opinion etc. Actually these theories of two way symmetric communication have been developed some years ago by Prof. J Grunig, a US guru in PR effectiveness.
So PR people shouldn’t fear blogging, they should embrace it as it is an effective way to achieve what they want to do.

Glenn, totally agree.
Anon: I don’t even know where my Yellow Pages is at the moment. Sure don’t carry it with me here in Switzerland. Thanks for playing!
