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.'

Thanks for the heads up. Dave posted something on Twitter the other day and I think it was regarding this. I was able to give him some feedback concerning how it worked in Opera on OSX. A year ago I didn’t get RSS either, now I’m giving talks on it to local business groups. I love RSS and related tech.

Love the idea – the only suggestion would be to give optional summaries under each headline that one has chosen from the general categories

Did you ever use the Topic Explorer in the New York Times Reader? Seems a lot more useful to me than what you linked to.
Flashy doesn’t necessarily mean shallow in terms of functionality.

I really have grown to love Dave (in the meta sense). He’s always putting together cool stuff just, it seems, for the sake of putting together (and sharing) cool stuff. Also, I suggested @Flickr that he rearrange it alphabetically instead of by frequency and, thus, it was done. Awesome. I really have switched camps in a certain undeclared blog war.

I don’t get it yet, that’s for sure. I haven’t figured out a use for the OPML stuff either. I think I need to find some more examples of this stuff to wrap my brain around it.

It’s nice and an interesting way to pull together different stories on a topic, but the experience is pretty awful from a reading POV. I don’t think comparing it to the NYT reader makes sense. The NYT reader is about reading text on the screen as nice as reading on paper. Dave’s work is something else entirely.

Indexing by “keywords”, with dupes. Nice project I guess. But indexing as a virgin landscape? Hah. SIRE, TExtract, Authex, CINDEX (MACREX), SKY Index, wINDEX and much much more in Enterprise space, as all I can think offa top of head.

Dave’s explorations are interesting and I think it only begins to scratch the surface. I am very interested to see where people take this. BTW Robert – if you ever make it to nyc – let us know and we will show around the innards of nytimes.com and what the real geeks do here.

Ok, maybe it’s better from the reading standpoint than Microsoft’s Times Reader. But what about the experience? Why not swap out your iPod for a utilitarian box that just lists all the media on the device? By the same standard, wouldn’t it also be ‘better’?
Honestly, I don’t even *like* RSS, I just do it because I have to. I’d much rather browse to a real site and look at it in the way they wanted the content to look. Reading RSS is like sitting outside a movie theater reading the script to the movie instead of watching the actual movie.

What’d make it really useful, is if you could choose some of the keywords that Dave is using to cluster stuff and say that you are not interested in that. At least I could get just relevant interesting (to me) news in a single place quickly.
I don’t suppose Dave has done this for any other sites like the BBC?

What’s there to get:
RSS gives a standard format for publishing pages with tags, which can then allow clients to read tags in the pages. There have been programs to filter and select pages from sites for years; RSS just by adhering to XML is able to standardize this and make it easier for everyone to do, so different applications can use the same data.
This will help streamline filtering and notification.
It doesn’t mean everyone will want to view a site in an RSS dump, whether its a list or something else. The reason Drudge Report is still popular despite the number of news filters or blogs out there, is that its user formatted and edited.
It also doesn’t invalidate the nicety of the NY Times Reader for Vista. A main problem with the Vista application, is that its restricted to NY Times, so you have a separate reader Application for the Seattle-Post Intelligencer, and you’ll have a separate reader for every single paper. Another problem is that it seems it shouldn’t necessarily be a desktop-only experience. But you know—we have WPF/E (Silveright) now. It will take a little more to make the NY Times reader a meaningful application but it was meant as a demonstration of WPF.
I have no idea why you think NY Times Reader and Dave Winer’s demonstration are in competition with each other.
And guess what:
“And earlier this month at a meeting in NY, two engineers at the NY Times set me off in a new direction, with a very simple bit of advice. They told me to look in the HTML source code of their stories.” – Dave Winer (http://www.scripting.com/stories/2007/10/22/somethingNewInNews.html)
Dave GOT THE IDEA from the people who helped make the NY Times Reader. Why do you think “Microsoft made it for them”. THEY worked on it and they’re planning to update it in the future.
What is there to get?
Everyone knows whats going on; Microsoft, the New York Times, Dave Winer, and everyone else who’s paying attention.

I just think you have this meme embedded in you that RSS is in competition with everything else, whether desktop applications or traditional forms of web publication, or that at least everything else will be more on the margins and not matter as much.
It sounds like someone who says because we can open up a Costco and Walmart in every town in the world, its ok if corner stores are demolished and every town in the world becomes a cultureless stripmall where people buy things in bulk they don’t need.
And people do say that, because they’re too caught up in business hype and fashion. XML is a good standard, but its also democratizing business hype by making consumers feel like they’re part of the hype machine.
The only thing significant about RSS is that its a part of a large standardization process for things that were done a long time without standards.
