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.'

Ummm….did you read this part:
” Evidence mounts that podcasting is not monetizable in ways many Web 2.0 businesses are counting on. If you are banking on podcasting being a daily activity by 150 million Americans in three years, you should be able to trace the path between now and then and explain clearly what are the causes of this change. “

As far as I can see the only rule you need is number 1 (and the business equivalent of buying lottery tickets doesn’t count).

People make business far more complicated than in needs to be. It’s simple. You the business have something or a service that people either really need or really want. You market it properly, treat your customers like gold, do your comps on your competition, adjust products, services, marketing, and prices accordingly, and stay in business.
Remember, being a business, especially a small business, is not always about getting rich. Like the article said, if you go into an Internet business thinking you will get acquired by one of the big players, you’ve doomed yourself already.
Do something because you love it and want to help people and your success will follow. Remember, making a living is reality, making a killing is not. Most small business owners make a nice living if they do everything right. As long as you have a nice roof over your head, clothes for you and yours, and a car that runs well, and some savings, you’re good.
Yachts, fancy cars, mansion are for people with more money than sense. What happens if you get sued out of business, you die, or something happens? You or your family lose everything.
Keep it real is the basic tenet of success.

Great list, but the cynic in me things you only linked as he referenced you in #11. 😉
Sadly that list is pretty much default common sense, but amazing how uncommon such ‘sense’ be in the Valley.
The short version: Have a biz plan, impact non-bloggers (read: customers), drop the world-revolutionary tones, buzzword soup (if someone says “long tail” I will scream) and lose the cutesy internet names, and distance thyself from the faddish trends.

Doesn’t this just all boil down to “for gods sake, sell something”? I can’t for the life of me work out why VCs give so much money to people technorati who’s revenue model seems to be “er, dunno. Maybe someone will buy us?”

Robert, just wanted to say that this was a very cool post to trackback. The evolution of Web 2.0 is out of control now that the marketers have gotten a hold of it. Today’s self appointed Web 2.0 leaders are really nothing at all close to the original philisophies and beliefs of how to make a better, more interactive web experience.
