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?
Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

You don’t think that it was the buzz coming from SXSW as a whole (with the dual 60″ plasmas streaming twitter messages) that was the engine behind the March growth spurt?

Nope. The buzz actually got kicked off by Leo Laporte about 10 days before SXSW. Then the Game Developer Conference happened and the buzz was actually happening there. My biggest percentage Twitter follower growth happened right before SXSW.
SXSW is just where the mainstream press noticed it (and where it accelerated due to mentions on stage, in Ask a Ninja, and other places like the lobby screens).
The cool kids were already on Twitter before SXSW though. Remember my BBQ at SXSW? I planned that on Twitter and had 30 responses in two minutes BEFORE SXSW.

It’s true – I honestly attribute the success of Twitter to Robert and Leo. They said it was cool, everyone tried it out.
I still think it’s useless. Bloggers, especially A-listers, probably won’t have an issue with thinking they’re important enough to be broadcasting their lives to the world. The concept has been around in IM for the longest time. Sure, Robert doesn’t like IM, but I bet you the majority of people using Twitter never used the same functionality when it was in IM. So, all of a sudden, the Twitter population thinks this the idea of status updates are the greatest thing ever.
Teens & college kids probably also question the utility. This group (which includes me) most likely grew up with using status updates on IM, and lately on Facebook so they don’t see what all the hype is about. In fact, Facebook & Bebo showed that Twitter is a feature, not a product.
Now, all that being said, I don’t think Twitter is completely useless. It’s a great solution for blogging at conferences. It can probably be very useful when applied to a close network of people, like family or friends. But best of all, it eliminates crappy, trivial posts from blogs 🙂
As an aside, I’d be interested in knowing how much of Twitter’s population weren’t influenced by Robert or Leo to join and aren’t bloggers. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be too surprised at the results.
Like for Second Life, businesses are merely just jumping on the bandwagon. Honestly, I don’t see what the difference is between BBC’s Twitter page and subscribing to their RSS feeds. If anyone knows any practical business uses or any practical uses at all, please respond.
Yeah, in case you can’t tell, I hate seeing fluffy products getting tons of attention. But we’re in a bubble, so, of course, we can expect Twitter to be sold for X million(s).
If you’re curious, I think I first heard of Twitter via Tara Hunt for some sort of movie promotion. When all the cool kids, it just turned into who had the most followers, etc.

First time I used (not only mentioned) Twitter on my weblog was november 1st. So you took use of quite an incubation period…
http://www.karssenberg.nl/weblog/2006/11/dienstmededeling-via-twitter.html
But of course you gave it a good swing! What parade are you running past at the moment? Bottom line: next time tell us in advance and not two month later…

This info has probably flowed in via other channels, but apparently the data that Kottke was working off of is unreliable:
http://www.kottke.org/07/05/twitters-not-growing-so-fast-after-all
Apparently the folks at Twitter are going to be working on some visualizations, so the horse’s mouth version should be available in a couple of weeks.
Not to say that the new data won’t confirm the power of Scoble and Laporte, of course… 🙂

I think it is fair to say that rather than you anticipating the growth of Twitter, were an active part in making it happen. On some occasions, you had Twitter in almost every post you wrote for days, so my guess is that your readers went to the site, signed up, and told their buddies to sign up.

The bubbles bubble on, bubbled up by professional bubblers, making bubbleish and illogical product comparison datapoints, about bubbled-up adoption rates.
Well the Silicon Valley bloggers are hip
I really dig the tech they wear
And the Twitters with the way they talk
They knock me out when I’m there
The RSS feeds really make you feel alright
And the MySpacers with the way they make friends
They keep their computers warm at night
I wish they all could be like…
I wish they all could be like…
I wish they all could be like…us.

the idea of twitter is very simple. very good idea, but what exactly is the purpose.
now for the growth
the sudden growth of a website is good but should be taken with caution. if scoble and some of the famous techies stop twittering for quite sometime then twitter will drop in the growth profile. As for blogger it will always continue to grow.
