Uncategorized 0 Minutes

Ahh, Mena Trott must really have a headache today cause Time Magazine just released its list of 50 coolest Websites.

Aaron Brethorst gave me a nice compliment when he wondered why I wasn’t on the list (I don’t belong, Aaron, but I appreciate your thought!).

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.

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.'

  7. How does Google Spreadsheets get into Staying Connected category? They should have had a web application category. Whatever, these kind of lists are pretty irrelevant. You want a cool website, I am using cocomment.com to track all my blog comments. Now that’s freaking cool!

  12. Why does that give Mena Trott a headache?

    She doesn’t like hierarchical lists, them being undemocratic and all that. Lists makes it a lot harder on newcomers, the lion’s share going to the upper 3%, lists supposedly reinforce such a view. It’s not civil, and against all that is good and pure in this world. Only Commies that hate Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Chevrolet would ever dare order things in lists. Blah blah blah. (Basic gist of her Blogher speech, as filtered down from the big-game-of-telephone bloggiods).

  14. Yes, cute but not practical. I seem to spend more and more of my waking hours in front of a computer (hmm, time to go off the grid for a few weeks?) and I use … none of these sites.
    What happened to gmail, worpress, technorati?

  16. I don’t usually boast about my lists, but I’ve got this thing I call SLABTO!, which stands for “Some Links Are Better Than Others”. It’s kind of hidden right now, as I don’t provide a provide link to it on my blog, but I’m sure you’ll find it if you’re looking for a decent list of (what I think are) “cool” sites (though some links are better than others)…

  18. Yuck, I hope no one blogs about this list, I don’t want to see this list gather speed. It is mostly crap. I think that Time magazine is trying to be hip by picking sites that are small and have great photography.

  28. It is a realistic list that a “majority” of those that spend time on the internet can identify with. That is why you don’t see Robert Scoble’s blog on the list. Most people (meaning not bloggers but the majority of people on the internet) don’t know who he is.

  30. Robert,

    Why would Six Apart’s Mena Trott “have a headache today cause Time Magazine just released its list of 50 coolest Websites”?

    Is it because she’s not on it? Just curious.
