OK, sorry for the turn down a less-than-professional series of posts yesterday.

Let’s get back on track for the week with a great site (on Live Spaces, no less) that tracked 150 cool downloads for Windows XP.

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.

  1. Hey Scoble,

    Let me tell you something honestly (a little off topic). You are the person who introduced me to the world of blogging. Your posts were inspiring. On my live.com page your blog feed is on the top of the page and then after you left Microsoft i found that your blogs were getting quite uninteresting so i shifted your blog on my live.com page to the bottom.

    But reading your last couple of posts, you have finally convinced me that i should remove your feed from my live.com page and stop reading your posts completely. Thanks for that. I read you mentioned that your readers were valuable to you, well i got news for you, you just lost a valuable reader. I was disappointed to see you stoop so low as to bring Dare’s father into your intelligent replies.

    Please dont bother responding to this reply because i am not reading your blog anymore so no counter response from me.

    Goodnight and good luck
    -Pranab

  7. My advice: Don’t apologize. Dare is regularly a jerk to people who he disagrees with, and in this case he’s just huffy because his project.

    In my mind, your very best posts have been the ones that are unprofessional.

    – Telling Steve Ballmer that kowtowing to religious bigots about gay rights is wrong? Brilliant!

    – Laying your heart on the line about the death of your mother? Sappy, but real.

    – Calling bullshit on your old company’s spam-ridden ghost-town blog hosting product? Tellin’ it like it is.

    While you’re at it, somebody get a mop for Pranab’s bleeding heart. Maybe he’d be more comfortable hearing your criticisms in sonnet form, or whatever it is they use to flame each other in the happy-go-lucky fairy land that he comes from where people never say mean things to each other on a blog.

  9. Stick to your guns, don’t go wishy washy…

    Perhaps, more dispassionate, more logical, less emotional, less flamebaity and more slicing snark…

    ….but illogical, emotionally-mood-swingy, corny maple-syrup wood-sap be another “definition” of blogging, and makes you more “human” and “passionate”, cue up the rest of the buzzword soup here.

  11. I think a web-service is important not because of the advertisement revenue but because its adds a little bit more convenience or little bit more fun or little bit more knowledge or little bit more productivity… to a user’s life.

    If a service is important and people are getting something out of it then a successful business model exist. These days it is ads but it very well could be something entirely different.

  13. Yeah, The most interesting blog entries of recent times are the ones that some readers think are the driest.

    I am definitely will be one more reader to replace the sad loss of one of your readers, and I’m sure there’ll be more too.

    In reply to a previous comment I think it’d be great if you’d put a poll for some of your posts, since there are so many other readers out there, I’m sure most of them can’t even be bothered to comment on some of the entries, but if there’s a poll, you never know what the results might be!

    Oh and to Jake, I’ve got the mop for Pranab’s bleeding heart, but I think it’s too late, Scoble’s gone from his live.com feed now 😦

    Not to worry, the scobleizer has just been added to mine 😀

  19. I thought the post about ‘spaces’ was mostly about Microsoft always going on about how they are the biggest and baddest, while a closer inspection reveals that there wasn’t much there, except mostly empty ‘blogs’.
    No biggie, they dont have to be the biggest if the service is a good one.. which it really is.. but it’s annoying that one can’t point out the fact that sometimes, they just aren’t the biggest and/or the best.
    Sometimes, they are just mediocre, and one should be able to mention this without being flamed as a result.
    Spaces is a slightly boring place, with big empty ‘spaces’, which tries hard to appear a little bigger than it really is, referring to numbers that aren’t exactly perfectly correct, because Microsoft can’t be anything but the biggest..
    It’s not a bubble, really, but it’s a slightly dangerous tendency and it might derail the company if it goes to far.

    – It’s a good service tho.

  26. Pranab, “Dare is a jerk”? He sounds a lot more interesting to hang around with and listen to than Scoble does, and certainly more than you do.

    (I still don’t know why Scoble felt the need to bring Dare’s father into their little spat.)

    But RSS Bandit rocks, and Dare was the originator of it. I’ve never used anything made by Scoble.
