BIO:
Scoble gives you a front-row seat on the future.
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.

++++++++
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.'

One idea I’ve had (which I don’t know of an RSS reader that supports) is for the application to “track” which feeds I actually read and/or click-through to.
Then, it would be easier to “prune” feeds that just haven’t generated any interesting content over some period (like 30-60 days).
If this were a desktop app, it could approximate what I was “reading” by simply watching how much time I spend on a particular article. Of course, anything I click on would be deemed to have been at least somewhat interesting.
In any case, a thought. I keep meaning to cleanup my feed list, but never do — and something like this would help.
Its the RSS equivalent to the idea of boxing up old junk in the house and putting a date on it. Five years later, if the box has been unopened, you just throw it out without opening it.

I dump feeds from my subscriptions when I get sick of skipping past it’s entries in the list of unread entires.
I add feeds whenever I find a new blog by following links. If the linked article is interesting I go to the main page of the blog and if I come across a second interesting article on the front page I subscribe until it reaches the dump threshold.
The only problem is that blogs that don’t post often generally stay in my list forever, but at least they don’t take up any of my time.
As you go around readding feeds to your list, if you find any that are particularly focussed on development processes (particularly real life experience with adopting or using them) I’d appreciate it if you could highlight them. As an example, we’re adopting XP so I’m trying to keep track of my experiences and lessons learnt on my blog – I’d be interested in finding similar entries from other people adopting XP as well as other development methods (maybe trying to use the waterfall method better etc).
While I’m commenting (I lurk on the RSS feed mostly), your blog has been much more enjoyable since the recent reflections on life and reviewing of your feeds. Keep it up.

Am I the only retrograde reader out here? I was a feed junky for a good long time, but these days I’m back to URL’s and HTML – RSS seems to leach content of its character, and I like to slow down, navigate a site, and see what else hangs off of it as opposed to sponging as much raw feed-data as quickly as possible. Goofy? Probably.

Looks good, works well.
Since I just signed up and my userID is still a fairly low number (384) I would not say it is an ‘instant hit’ but a decent enough start, let’s compare again at the end of the day.
It does need some more remix and republish options.

The two most interesting things I’ve noticed are that I seem to subscribe to a lot of feeds. More than I thought and more than a lot of other people. Also that Robert has somehow forgotten to add his wife’s blog to his list. 🙂
I’m thinking that I may drop some of the more heavily subscribed feeds. After all if everyone else is reading them than most likely one of them will link to the really interesting things they say and save me some time. It’s a theory.

Robert: Nah, I won’t be sharing my OPML. (Although an old copy of my subs may be in there somewhere.) There’s just not any incentive.
I mean, first off, the service doesn’t actually *do* anything beyond create Yet Another Top 100 List. But more importantly, I do a lot more than read blogs with feeds.
I’m subscribed to lots of “utility feeds”, for example. New referrers for my blogs come to me via RSS. Email comes to me from Google’s Atom feeds. Private forum messages. Up-to-date VersionTracker info. Ego searches from Technorati and PubSub and Icerocket. So even if much of it weren’t inappropriate for public distribution, it still wouldn’t be of any use to anyone else.
The only OPML I can see sharing would be generated from my blogrolls. Anyone who wants that info, though, can get it without going to a third-party site.
“Reading lists” have a certain limited appeal, but generalized OPML sharing just doesn’t make sense to me.

Robert, I tihnk I might have to burn’n’purge as you’ve done, especially since Newsgator Online is not letting me export my OPML. Finicky. I love Ngator but it’s not nearly as simple as Bloglines, for example, in that regard (importing/exporting OPML). But this SYO tool (Share Your OPML) certainly looks very useful and as soon as my ego feeds are out of the way I hope to stick my OPML into it :).

Robert, if the sidebar doesn’t add any more information for a visitor to your site, it probably shouldn’t be there (other than a reason that it is a standard procedure in blogs) 🙂
———————————–
I don’t have time to read a million blogs, so I don’t use an aggregator. Different people, different requirements, different solutions.
It would be interesting to see what new feeds you’ve started subscribing to.
No one has posted their opml here, wasn’t that the intent of this post? 🙂 I don’t have any, so nothing useful here too.

Please don’t kick out marketing from your radar. I thought you were the bridge between the geeks and the non-geeks.

I recently started using Onfolio, after it came bundled as part of the Windows Live toolbar.
Onfolio is doing a great job – has this nice concept of generating “newspapers” to read for you out of your subscriptions. And that way it is pretty much easy for me to filter read items, unread items, items by date, etc.
I briefly tried Outlook 12 – but it is still not ready. Each time I set it up, after a while, it just stops sync-ing for some reason and the only fix I discovered was to delete and add again.
Before that I used Abilon – good reader, but has its own little bugs.
Managing feeds – I take a monthly backup (read: whenever I remember) of the OPML so I don’t lose out on the URLs. Wise thing to do – backups. Especially if you haven’t yet standardized on a feedreader. And then of course, if I don’t go to a folder for a while, I just go ahead and delete it. Because if I am not reading it regularily, it probably means I am not going to read it in the future as well.
