I love Om Malik and am watching his new tech news show tonight. Looks great, can’t wait to see more. I’ve added it to my videos to watch and will put the best episodes on my link blog. You can see my link blog there, or on my Facebook Profile.

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.'

BTW, Sandquist, if you’re reading through, I am submitting the last minute extra claim and evidence Monday morning before I leave for Germany. It should come in at least 2 days before the 15 day evidence and claim submission limit. It’s nothing you or Scoble hasn’t seen before so if you didn’t prep your attorney, too bad on you. See you all in 3 weeks.

I tried to watch the show and was annoyed at the production value of it all. There was nothing different from turning on my TV and watching a tech show on MSNBC.
The first thing to catch my eye was the waste of time with the intro to the show. I am watching a show on the internet to see it now, and not wait for it to start after a flashy intro. Stop with all the mess of telling people what they are watching when I clicked to watch it in the first place.
Also, donβt be so rehearsed, or is it nerves? Just sit and BS and just wing it. That is the beauty of watching these shows.

I have no idea how much visuals are involved with the show but booo to Revision 3 for not having an mp3 option. With all the shows and podcasts we have to choose from today there’s not enough time to watch them all. I can at least listen to them while working or commuting though.

There is nothing wrong with Robert pimping his own blog. A man has to do his own marketing otherwise what’s the point of having a web presence. Yes, good blogs/sites stand on their own, but good marketing, tooting one’s own horn are all valid methods. Some people call it self-serving, but hey, if it works, good on ya.
Robert, I’ve often wondered why you don’t get into pure IT marketing; I think you would be a shoe-in for that line of work.

@macbeach,
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
How could Scoble not do spotrunner though?
I went through an entire campaign with a consultant from there and will be blasting Silicon Valley TV starting in September with a barrage of adverts on Cable.
I would have liked to have seen a video before spending all that money on the adverts.
This is something Scoble could have easily done to illuminate the unique service of TV advertising from the web. He could still do it.

Robert – I know that I am probably not on your radar as my emails go unanswered, but I disagree that this was a “great show”.
Here is my very lengthy review:
http://www.centernetworks.com/review-of-the-gigaom-television-show
The show was boring at most spots, catchphrases that don’t work and just overall no entertainment value. Perhaps you can explain more in detail as to why you believe it was a great show. Otherwise this post appears to be a friend pimp (which is fine).

Allen: I’m answering very little of my email, sorry about that.
I thought it was better than some of my efforts and is well produced and looks great (I run my own camera, do my own audio, so I guess I am envious of those who have help doing such things). Not everyone’s bag of tea, I guess and because I know Om I probably am biased because I enjoy hearing his opinions on things.
On the other hand, it’s not the kind of show I would enjoy doing. I more prefer just doing conversations in people’s offices and not getting stuck in studios and all that. But that’s just my style and I can see this gathering an audience over time.

I thought it would be way better than it was. What did Om really say that was his opinion on anything?
I did think your sponsor Seagate’s CEO came across as intelligent about drives. I guess that’s good for someone whose business is selling drives π
HotorNot was not. And mentioning Lindsay was poor form.

Allen, you have zeroed in on Om Malik’s Achilles’ heel. He is utterly shallow. Makes Paris Hilton look profound. If being vacuous was a crime he would be locked up. ‘Om’ is someone out to make a quick buck without actually doing or saying much of anything at all. He can produce reams of words in a print column (quite a few misspelled and terrible grammar, too) without actually offering any actual information. There’s no there there. I wasn’t at all surprised when he was among the people accepting payola from Microsoft.
Bonus question: Why would Robert Scoble like Om Malik?

Don’t people in TV broadcasting have to be;
1. Semi-Attractive
2. An Articulate Speaker

This isn’t a knock on Om, I actually like what he has to say on GigaOM, but I don’t think he has what it takes to make it in TV land.

Tom – Wow… let’s think of Walter Cronkite or, Morey Shaffer (Safer?)… hotornot? Um, NOT! Still they had CONTENT and could deliver it. Cronkite was hardly entertaining (at least while the little red light was on).
I think what Om brings (and Scoble too) in DROVES is access to those people who either don’t want to or can’t get quality time in the MSM. These people are passionate about their stuff. They’ll take time to talk with other passionate people or conduits INTO pools of other passionate people.
I’d take Om over Katie Couric any day. Is she semi-attractive. Sure. Not sure it matters tho. Om’s got the access and content. It’s a PILOT for crying out loud! You’d think his program would have to be fully formed and Oscar quality listening to some of these folks. So, OK, launch your own successful deal and show him how it’s done. Or maybe you already have… π

There is also something going on with ‘Om’ and the Other from another race/culture that gives me pause. For example, ‘om’ is considered a sacred utterance among Hindus. Yet, he trivializes it to get laughs from Westerners. I think his supposed popularity is based partly on being a ‘safe,’ non-threatening person of color.
