Dependencies holding up the ScobleShow

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I so want to launch my ScobleShow (we all do) but we’re holding out for a relaunch/redesign of PodTech’s site (my show is a small part of that). It’s looking good, but we’re not finished yet. We were aiming at getting the show up today, but it’s pretty clear that isn’t going to happen. Might not even happen this week. The task list for the Web team is long and they are on a death march (were here until 3 a.m. on Saturday morning, which is pretty much the definition of such things).

Anyway, the long and short of it is no ScobleShow today. Predicting launch dates, even at a small company, is an inexact science. My guess right now? A week from now we’ll get my show up. The funny thing is we might get two weeks worth up next week since I’ve been out shooting (doing another interview this afternoon).

Seeya tonight. Gotta go get some tapes.

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.'

  5. Stop looking. It’s a great name. You may as well accept that you’ve built your name into a brand. (You say, “A-lister,” I say, “brand.”)

    extended rap: you’ll find, of course, that your brand is famous only within a finite circle. That’s okay. That’s still way more famous than any brand you’d start from scratch. (unless Comcast wants to sell you TechTV. But that’s just a larger finite circle.)

  7. I feel your pain, Robert (and that of your valiant web team), I really do.

    I’m glad you’re opting to move the launch date rather than burn out your web people — good web folks are too valuable deathmarch needlessly if there’s any way to avoid it.

    Best wishes on the eventual launch!

  9. I always advocate that when setting a date for such things – add seven days (or more, for really big projects).

    If you’re ready on time the spare week gives you more time for testing, and you can never do enough of that before putting a site live! But more often than not you’ll need the days as you fall behind schedule (it’s natural).

  13. hmm, this is suspicious – rumours that Vista suddenly looks like it’s on schedule and now PodTech is behind schedule. I think we’ve found the cause of delays – some madman running around campus with a video camera. 🙂

    For those with an American sense of humour – it’s a joke, laugh. 😛

  35. I agree with edddy. Robert, don’t get caught up in doing everything in the first release. There will always be a “version 2”. And you have the flexibiliy to add “features” a lot easier than you have with traditional shrink wrap software. Make it good enough, and ensure you have a good enough user experience that you can generate revenue and get people looking at it, but it doesn’t have to be perfect.

  37. Mr. S,

    Please keep the channel 9 style video interface and not the channel 10 style. It is nice to bump ahead of the blah blah.

    We could never do such a rude thing in person. However, in our free time (time compression). A picture is worth a thousand words, a video 100,000 words. The same applies to trade shows and conferences. If you can come away from a trade show/conference course with one jewel, the $1000 fee and expenses are with the time.

    Imagine if you could fast forward through a good conference. Imagine … if you could … never mind, next time.

  40. My motto usually is:
    Release early, release often. Then constantly improve.
    But whatever you do, don’t release something half-assed without that special feeling you were looking for. It can defintly be a rouge diamond, but the audience still have to get a glimpse at the diamond.

    Good Luck!

    Looking forward to it!
