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.'

Shortly after the investment by Ebay -Craigslist had reversed their policy allowing Posters to include Website Addresses on any “Services” related posts – because of Spam or SEO purposed posts.
Those that abused the priveleged were banned from future postings using the same email address.
It is surprising that this blogger did not face any repurcussions – it is a very picturesque Website. The images are high quality.

Considering he does sell real estate and is a professional in the business, his stuff is probably more worthwhile than a lot of the other junk on Craig’s list. Not sure I see what your problem here is.

Robert, I visited the blog but I am disappointed to see that he does not even post once a week. So, I guess he will find it difficult to use his blog as an effective tool for business. Advice him to post more often. He is an experienced man. Many people can get benfited from his advice.

I started my blog The Future of Real Estate Marketing just over a month ago and have seen well over 10,000 unique visitors and my traffic is growing every day. There’s no doubt there is a huge hunger for information in this space and it’s nice to see blogging making a lateral jump into other industries (other than tech) and having a measurable impact. Congrats to Stan.

For me it was really obvious to take blogs from my previous IT work and all the insight I’d gained from them as a resource – and to use that same tool as an extension of word of mouth advertising for my new business. People often ask how I’m going to get the word out about the new business I’m starting (4×4 Weekend). Blogs will definitely be a giant way that I’ll be getting the word out, and I can see lots more new companies thinking similar (huge companies and small companies like mine).
Yes Robert, blogs do change the way business communicates. I think I read that in a book somewhere. 😉

Our company provides a system by which Realtors create not just blogs, but blog communities which they oversee and sponsor. One such client, a broker in Lake county Ohio, testifies that he has seen a 23% jump in business this year and credits it soley to his blog community site, called the Lake County Blog.

To Christopher Coulter’s point:
Real estate agents as well as many other professionals do “spam” craigslist in one sense. When I shop for furniture, I know that there are furniture stores I can go to, but if I go on craigslist it is to find used/new items being sold by individuals. Search for “sofa” on Craigslist these days though, and half of the listings will be by furniture stores hawking their wares. In that sense, craigslist ceases to be a tool for the non-pro individual seller, and becomes just another media channel for advertisers. What’s more, the pros have a lot of time on their hands and many of them repeat their messages even more than once a day – that is pure spam.

The real estate corner of the blogosphere is changing and evolving daily; there are more entries every day, but fewer that seem to not understand that blogs are relationship tools as well as marketing tools. The goal of most many quality real estate blogs is to develop a community of trust and familiarity – blogging solely to gain market share will inevitably be discerned by the readers. There are a couple of real estate blogs in my market, for instance (all real estate is local) that do nothing but post their listings and occasionally will copy and paste some story from Inman or Rismedia or some other national real estate news site.
Blogging will grow more traffic organically, but the relationship aspect must not be underestimated.

Jim – As is so often the case, a good many REALTOR’s have no clue as to what a BLOG is and isn’t supposed to be. Those flogging themselves by simply posting listings, their “services”, and copying/pasting real estate articles from Inman and the like are doing nothing but wasting their own time (as there won’t be any organic increase in traffic on account of their efforts). A small percentage of agents do have blogs that offer unique content – those are the ones who’ll see the fruits of their labours grow.

Robert,
First, loved your book!
Stan’s results are not unusual. Dustin Luther (of Rain City Guide fame) and I have created a Bloginar designed to educate real estate agents about the power of blogging.
Without getting into a long-winded post, it is becoming ever more important for individual agents to be the “local” expert. Blogging is a wonderful way to demonstrate this role.

Our next event will be July 19 in LA.

I see more blogs from Realtors every day. Some are excellent (the afore mentioned Rain City Guide for one), and some are down right horrid (just regurgitating listings).
I’ve gained clients from my blog, but that’s not why I blog. I do it because… well, I’m not sure why! I just do it. I enjoy it. If I can pass on a little knowledge or humor, then all the better.
There’s no question that having a real estate blog can make you appear to be an “expert” whether you are or not. Strictly because of my blog I’ve been contacted by local (Phoenix) reporters, a reporter from the LA Times and a VP at Trulia.com. Locals and out of town investors have all called and asked me real estate related questions. Will this turn into business? It already has, and will continue to do so more than likely. But I don’t recommend any Realtor start a blog just to gain business or display listings. It’s too much work, there are easier ways…

I think that the real advantage that blogging can provide for a realtor (or any “celebrity” occupation) is that ability to connect a name, a face and a personality together in a potential client’s mind.
Yes, realtor’s are a “celebrity” business, look in the paper in the real estate section. They waste as much space printing their own pictures as they do showing the properties they are hawking.
So if you try to use your blog space to try to sell things (listing your properties, for example) you are just wasting your time. But if you use it to provide interesting and insightful information, then when a reader is thinking of buying or selling a house, how can your name NOT be at the top of his list?
