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?

I won’t say I’m jealous, but, I’m jealous – oops, I said it.
The power of that association is rather amazing. I was misquoted in an Associated Press article and my book’s title, incorrectly sited – and yet, my book ranking on Amazon shot way up – right behind Bolles – What Color Is Your Parachute under career books.
On Amazon, another book was misquoted, some sex guide was categorized under careers and my book was right next to in the standings. I wasn’t sure if that was good for me or bad – or maybe a sign.

Congratulations, Robert, to you and Shel both. That we should all be so well wagged!
I’m curious whether you (or your readers) know just *how* the “Better Together” feature works on Amazon. Is it editorial? Is it algorhythm-based? (my guess) What factors into it and is there a way to influence it? Does this have anything to do with some thing that you and Shel *did*?
And Matthew — I’m sure that last book is a sign that your book is very sexy.

You’re in good company-
I just received Anderson’s book yesterday, and it’s incredible. Naked and Long Tail make a good pair (aside from the obvious double entendre giggle factor)-
both of them describe the amazing transformation our culture is experiencing right now, unbeknownst to so many. As a matter of fact , Long Tail puts a pretty interesting framework around Naked Conversations, and shows the blogging phenomenon as one of a myriad of decentralizing earthquakes that are happening all over the place.

Just wondering what/if any software you use to keep track of your book sales rank on Amazon? Are their any services that provide this info?

Waggings and ripples and flowcharts, well, just good to know that the message of The Red Couch is getting out. It’s the idea of a time whose power has come, or the time of a power whose idea has come, something like that, for sure.
Can Gratu Lations, Robt.

Long tail is very fragmented, it can be seen at http://www.vast.com you search for whatever and get list of resources (sites) there are big sites “walled gardens” and hundreds of small sites that are trying something out… those small sites are usually “niche oriented” and much better then gigantic sites that care only for volume.

Wow, Wiley is on top of it!
You probably know Naked Conversations shows up on the Amazon Long Tail page because Wiley paid for it — it’s a paid placement, and ad, and a great move!

Is there any way you can find out why your book appeared alongside Long Tail? The fit is obvious but, in my experience, there are usually more than just one additional purchase recommendations and I can see a case for, for example The Wisdom of Crowds and books on word of mouth marketing also being good companions.

Robert, I was chatting with a friend in publishing this morning, and if I’ve understood correctly, it sounds like it is *possible* to pay for placement in Amazon’s “Better Together” feature.
If it worked out for you without paying, all the better for you!

Robert,
I used to track Better Together sales for titles through my Associate stats. The benefit can be as great as one “partner” copy sold for every four primary copies sold, providing the combined price gets them over the $25 free shipping barrier, both are available for 24 hour shipping, and the relationship makes sense.

I believe it’s an algorithm that Amazon uses because when my profs in grad school made us buy random books for courses, the books would show up as “better together” once a few people bought them in the same order.

“Better Together” can be purchased, but isn’t always. (Alao, publishers can reserve those slots in advance for their own products, so they can prevent someone riding their coattails on forthcoming books.) If no publisher has bought up a slot, *then* Amazon’s AI kicks in.
