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.'

Robert,
Numbers do matter. Regardless of industry, trade or event. Face it, if the Microsoft stock price started performing like your blog just did I am sure the investors would start coming back, the brain drain would stop and even more innovative products would come out.
Perhaps you leaving Microsoft will cause you to be even MORE critical of Microsoft once you get a different perspective. Personally I believe that would be a very good thing. As I am loyal Microsoft customer for over 20 years I am at the end of my rope dealing with the DCC’s and DE’s in my area as they NEVER, EVER return my emails.
Want to create a more human face to Microsoft respond to the customer emails regardless of how “small” they might be. Blogging helps but so does good old fashioned customer service. That is my perspective at least.

Scoble, I though you said you had 50,000 subscribers but your stats only show 4,000 page views a day except for the last couple of days. Is this all it takes to be an A-list blogger?
Not trying to be snarky (probably am), but I’ve always viewed Microsoft for being as creative with its marketshare as, um, you were when you claimed 12 times the traffic you actually get. Channel9 claims 3.5 million viewers/day – is that an “exaggeration” too?
Didn’t you get more traffic at radio.weblogs?

The stats are not really saying it all. It seems the daily page views was hovering around 4,000 before the big news. That just doesn’t seem right. Even lowly schmucks like me get 4,000 page views a day.

Dharmesh: I have a lot of people who read me in their aggregators. According to my feed stats, last week I was at more than 23,000 RSS subscribers. Also, last week, I was averaging about 10,000 HTML hits. The graph makes it look at about 4,000, but it really was at about 10,000.

you should all notice that 4,000 is about the lowest those numbers go, there are also some dots at around 19,000. and of course being a technical site you would expect RSS feed numbers would be pretty decent ๐
@Kevin Baggs, the stats are a feature of wordpress.com. afaik you can’t get it for other wordpress blogs yet.
