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.'

I’ve just been sorting out all of my feeds.
I use Outlook 2007 Beta at the moment, which has a built in RSS aggregator. I really do think that Windows needs one itself. Not everyone will buy Vista and Office, that is for sure.
Outlook automatically creates folders for feeds, but I arrange mine into ‘genres’. For example – blogs, technology, sport, etc.
If I didn’t use Outlook, I’d be a bit stuck. I’d have to go for Onfolio or Google Desktop.

I use intraVNews (which is I think a similar reader to NewsGator — at least it is Outlook based).
I like you sort incoming news by weblog. But I also use Outlook folders to arrange it so that only new/unread entries are viewed (sorted by weblog) in a custom folder.
I think if I wanted to (I don’t) I could arrange it so that the news was presented in a complete “River of News” type format — can’t NewsGator work the same way?

Hey Robert, how do the myEarthLink Reader/myFavorites tools compare to the other river-of-news readers you’ve tried?
While it’s true we’re aiming in part to broaden usage of Readers to more regular folk, we want to know what a feed omnivore like yourself thinks of it too.

This is amusing, we’re now having the same discussion in comments on Dave’s site, John Robb’s site, and Scoble’s site… coincidentally, the old Userland team! 🙂 So yeah, to those who asked, it sounds like most of these readers (including FeedDemon, NNW, NewsGator, Bloglines, etc.) can be configured with something similar, but an auto-aging function that lets all items be auto-marked-read after 24 hours or something might give Dave the true River of News style he wants, while letting us use the per-post treatment for other feeds.
And yeah, Mike Arrington’s getting good PR out of this since I coincidentally commented on Dave’s site with almost exactly what Scoble’s written here. 🙂

This subject is directly on point for us at Attensa. Our 1.5 public beta of Attensa for Outlook is out and has a twist on “river of news” …it predictively ranks based on your behavior. Early feedback is solid and it’s worth a look. Aside from that it is very snappy in both loading and updating feeds compared to alternatives. Also syncs with Vista/IE7. Food for thought. This “riever of news” view is just the tip of the iceberg of what we are doing with Attention.

I also use Newsgator (outlook version). I like being able to switch between “river” vs. “folder” by using search folders. I create a search folder that display across all RSS folders or I can visit folders individually. I also create a search folder that hits the blogs that I read daily and excludes the ones I read less frequently. It just works.

I don’t like the river style in Outlook either, so the new Attensa release does not do anything for me (it may have fixed bugs though).
I do have a trick in Outlook though: I have folders by blogs (authors), but dont’ read them directly: set up a search folder for “unread” in the Attensa file, and made this search folder a “favorite”, and I keep the original Attensa folder collapsed
This way the favorite always shows the number of new feeds, they are sorted under Blog titles, and when I read somehting, it automatically disappears from the favorite (unread) listings, as if I deleted it. If I want to go back to an already read post, I just pull it up from the main Attensa folder.

The pure river of news thing, presupposes the feeds know what you want.
I keep 5 or 6 topical but broad categories, (eg, research, daily, commentary etc) and use Greatnews to do a river of news within each. Greatnews works well because its super fast, and with one key, the spacebar, I can rapidly see everything.
If you want pure river, Google Reader, which recently added folder reading too interestingly.

Yeah…… I’ve always been a big fan of the river of news which is why Rojo was/is a river of news (with folders) aggregator.
I still think its the best product out there but I’m obviously biased. What I find REALLY strange is why people still like bloglines. I think its the “it just works” philosophy which is very important to a lot of people. I’m starting to think this means more than feature set.
Tailrank also has a river of news style view …… you can also adjust how much data it will show simply changing the minimum ranking at the top of the page. Pretty cool 🙂
BTW…. I should note that all of this stuff has a RESTian API so RSS aggregator developers could add memettracking directly into their products if they wanted to.
Contact me if you want to talk about it… I haven’t had a ton of time to writeup or document the API.

W=Q/V … what something is worth depends on how much of it there is and how fast it’s moving, did I recall my Economics 12?
Cognitive ergonomics: there’s no way I’m going to put up with being pained repeatedly and frequently … unless there’s a payoff. (Cost/benefit, yes?) If each of a long series of teeny actions bothered us a teeny little bit then we’d prolly be really futzy and reactionary. *looks around* Yaa, like this.
Pleasure is Web2.0; elegant, responsive … and intelligent.
I doubt that “rivers” and “folders” are actually orthogonal, strcitly speaking … but dang near!

I use Opera’s reader, which lets me read my feeds either way. The RSS reader functions in the same fashion as the Opera e-mail client; namely, as a database. I can click on a feed’s heading (which will be bold if there are unread items) to read its content, or use the ‘Read Feeds’ function to see a river-style view of all my unread messages. There’s no need to me to ever sort anything; it’s all automagic.

What I think is awesome about rss readers is that there are so many of them. There isn’t the mono/duopoly like quickly formed with web browsers.
Stand alone aggregators, ones build into web browsers, ones running as web pages, weird hybrids of those forms, with different reading and presentation styles. That kind of diversity is great for users, and great for developers. MS and Netscape sucked almost all of the oxygen out of the browser market between them, and I’m very glad to see that that hasn’t happened with rss aggregators so far.
