Is Steve Gillmor on the market?

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Hmmm, InfoRouter shut down? Now who’ll say “Office is Dead?” Oh, I wanted to see what the rumor mill is saying but Valleywag’s servers are down and have been for more than an hour (like I said, I’ve been avoiding doing work). Bummer.

Update: since Jason Calacanis is busy trying to buy Digg, without paying hundreds of millions of dollars for it, and is now fighting with the entire Web 2.0 media (isn’t that just Mike Arrington and Tim O’Reilly?) I figure I should do something equally fun.

I’d love to hire Steve Gillmor. Seriously. We could do a show titled “you are dead.”

Then, we could talk about all the stuff that is dead. Newspapers. Magazines. Microsoft Office. Whatever. And we’d be so bombastic and fun that we’d gather an audience. Or, at least get invited to attend industry conferences and do more panel discussions where we’d stroke our beards (I’ll grow one) and say things to piss off Goebbels. Things like “Apple is dead.”

I hope I live long enough to say “RSS is dead.”

Of course we’d have comments where you could write “Scoble is dead.”

I just hope I’m always there to read THOSE. 🙂

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.

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.'

  5. I am always wondering why Steve seems so unhappy about his current situation. You know, “i can’t afford to go to these conferences”. For somebody as bright as him… he should be able to find something that challenges him intellectually and provides the money, just like you did.

  7. If you hire Steve Gillmor, there’s another dead you could add to your list, the ‘audience’. His spacey buzzwording even confuses the heck outta tie-dyed born-again Web 2.0 Roncoish-Inside-the-Shell-Electric-Egg-Scramblerheads.

  11. In my best Steve Gillmor voice…

    In this new war, the Attention War, AttentionRust will be a good thing for anybody who migrates along with users to a new paradigm, we need attention against the creative spirit crush in a sea of non-attentioned mediocrity and lowest common denominator accrued-reputational-value independent automated-replicating synchronized attention-recorded metadata.

    How much disruption could a disrupter disrupt if a disrupter could disrupt disruption, assuming the disruption was actually disruptive and the disrupter was aware of the disruptive disruption?

    Oldies but goodies… 🙂
