A day of social networking, 150 million views a day (on RockYou)

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Started out this morning having coffee with Dave Davison. One of the most interesting investors in Silicon Valley. That dude knows stuff (was CEO of a few Silicon Valley companies). And people. Told me about things I’ve only been telling a small group of people.

Then over to Stanford to brainstorm about a project I’m working on with them — all using Facebook to plan it out.

Finally tonight a writer for Fast Company was here to pick my brain about social networking.

Oh, and my video with Rock You, one of the hottest application developers for social networks is now up. If you’re building a Facebook app you’ll want to hear how these guys make money and some of the lessons they’ve learned.

Don’t miss this. RockYou’s apps get 150 million views a day. You read that right. A day.

In the video he covers a lot of ground about why Facebook is the hottest application platform for developers to play on today and he talks about how they got 15 million users in three months on that platform.

There’s something else. Oh, yeah. I can’t accept anymore Facebook friends. Got my full quota of 5,000 friends and Facebook isn’t allowing me to add any more. I’m sure you’ll see them sold on eBay soon. For at least a dime. I bet I’ll read that on Valleywag soon.

Now I’m headed home for some real social networking of the family kind. Our new baby is due “any day” (official date: September 12). You’ll read that on Twitter first. Especially now that Jott.com lets me call up with my cell phone and send text messages to Twitter.

Hope your day was as social as mine.

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. Yeah. Originally I laughed off the Facebook platform as silly. But when you think about it, essentially it lets shmoes like me and thousands of other basement programmers/coders/designers etc, bootstrap off an incredibly dense DB, with data and an index that we could never acquire alone without significant funds. The possibilities are actually quite incredible. BTW, guess I missed the train on being your “friend”. Didn’t know they *had* a limit!!
