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.'

Although, I just realized that WP stats bases it’s “overall” hits on post clicks and not based on unique visitors (like Google analytics). I wish they’d get that worked out because right now it’s not giving you a accurate number.

Our pageview numbers map very closely to external services like Google Analytics and Quantcast because we all use similar methods to count, but you’re correct that we don’t track uniques.

Thanks a lot Robert for showing us your stats, they are quite interesting. I never realised so few people actually clicked through from Techmeme. Is Techmeme your most consistent source of traffic??

It was also interesting to see your Twitter stats. I dont use twitter myself and i never knew you could get decent traffic from your site on twitter to your actual home page. Thanks again for showing us your stats. It is very helpful and it would be great if you could everyone some more stats in the future.

It’s funny. I advertised on my blog earlier today that I got my 1000th visitor (that’s 1000 total visitors ever since my blog started — not today or anything). And here I read Robert’s blog today and he is advertising his stats. I am feeling tiny in the blogosphere now π

Robert, somehow I think you’re trying to make a point about Techmeme’s relevance, but perhaps it’s a bit too much thinking “inside the box”.
I have a site that gets about 10 million pageviews/month whose main source of visitors, besides Google, Yahoo (yes, Yahoo) and direct access, are blogger.com, programas-gratis.net, stumbleupon.com, bloglines.com and msn.com
Blogger, Bloglines? Mind you, it’s not a blog nor a blogging platform!
But programas-gratis.net? This is a rustic website with only a 1,500 rating in Alexa (regardless of what it can be said about Alexa). Nonetheless, it scores (at Alexa) much better than Techmeme.
Your stats may show Techmeme as a major source, but in the big picture, I don’t think it means much, neither to prove your point nor to disregard it about Techmeme’s relevance.

Robert’s biggest spike was less than half of Valleywag’s daily average, interesting. I’m in Silicon Valley and PR people keep trying to convince me that everyone reads Scoble and no one reads “Valleyrag.” Probably because it’s easier for them to get a link on Scoble and charge me the client for it.

edouard: what’s weird is that I get way more comments per post than Valleywag does and sites I link to get way more traffic. I also get more traffic on many posts. Translation: I don’t trust those numbers.

How were your stats the first year you started to now? The first quarter, first 6 months? Is there hope for us newbies? Or will all the top blogs be the top blogs forever? I’m only half kidding here…

Aruni: I started blogging December 15, 2000. Dave Winer linked to me in early January of 2001 and sent me something like 3,000 people. I remember being impressed by that and thinking that I’d never have as many readers as he does.

After this, I’ve started working on analysing TechMeme. Looks easy. I hope to have a post out in a day or two π
Till then, TechCrunch: http://blog.yuvisense.net/2007/10/11/statbot-techcrunch-data-analysis/
1/3rd of all links from there are back to TechCrunch. Any implications?

Didn’t you used to have a sponsored link? What was the difference in results between a paid advert and an editorial link. I looked up your site on compete and it showed a huge jump from May 2007 20K, to 113,000 in September (after a fall from July to September) … many sites follow that same curve, maybe it’s more about their panel than anything.
