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.'

I think he means that figuring out what content is linked to most isn’t enough, that what we do with that content (gestures to him seem to equal emailing it, copying it, printing it off, writing a blog about it, and so on) is more telling when it comes to what is most valuable to us.
In other words, we live in an ever growing collaborative online world, and content that is being manipulated somehow has more importance to that world.
The movie house example is a way of saying that the movie alone (the content) isn’t as valuable to us as the the movie plus the gestures (the laughter) surrounding the content.
Anyway, I just read this quickly and have never heard of this gesture stuff before, so I could be wrong, but that’s what it seems to be saying, and I would have to agree with him. If he has a way of quantifying the value of what he calls gestures, that would be very interesting.

Why ask us what Gillmor means?
Ask him. I’d love to know why he writes and speaks in obscure and confusing metaphors. He gives the impression that he’s seeing over the horizon and grasping profound and useful insights. But who really knows?
He’s the Nostradamus of tech writers. Might as well be writing an astrology column. Does he do it on purpose as a way to filter out idiots like me? I remember when he spoke at Gnomedex a few years ago. At lunch following his session I asked a bunch of folks what he had just said. Nobody could tell me.
NewsGang is cool though. I’ll rate it as very gestury, and extra attention worthy. Whatever that means.

As near as I can figure out, “gesture” = “comment on blog post.” Or, by way of extension, a “Digg”, or a product review on Amazon, or rating someone’s iMix in the iTunes Store, or adding a caption to a picture using PhotoCrank (as on FSJ’s site)…
People reading Scobelizer = Attention.
People commenting on Scoble’s blog post = Gesture.
Gesture = Feedback.
Attention to something is valuable, but in a world of too much information divided by the time to consume a portion of it, signalling a lack of attention is more valuable.
0 Comments on a post = maybe I don’t need to read this. 🙂
The Gesture Economy’s power derives from its obedience to the time constraints of the user-in-charge.
I think he means people is busy. 😉
Gestures become inextricably interwoven with so-called content, creating a fabric of intelligence, emotion, and humor that is difficult if not impossible for audiences to resist. Why do we like comedies at the movie house–to enjoy the laughter of the idiots next to us.
Sometimes the comments on the post are better than the post. Sometimes the heckler is more entertaining than the person up on the stage. “Don’t tase me, bro.”
Hmmm. I guess this makes me an idiot in the audience? It’s pretty easy to feel that way, though, when Mr. Gillmor goes out of his way to be intentionally opaque and prolix; a simulacrum of Baudrillard, as it were. 😉
If this “Gesture Economy” is real, then I suppose the next step will be the development of the “Laugh Track” — an artificial “gesture,” in which you discover that the laughing idiot next to you is actually a recording.

Maybe simply: people’s reactions to something, and consequently their validation of our own reaction, are vitally important.
So if Scoble links to an article and adds a brief comment, that’s more valuable than the article in isolation.

I think it’s a very interesting idea, but I don’t buy it.
I will agree that the gestures of those around us supplement a viewing experience, but they are not the entertainment. I love people-watching, at a mall or plaza, but in a theater, content is king.
Almost like an enhancing drug, real laughter and real expressions of pleasure make the joy that we feel at a comedy show feel even more real. Dr. Cialdini in his book “Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion” calls this social proof; when we feel like others approve or disapprove, we are influenced to comply. TV studios discovered this years ago and added the laugh track to their shows. That may be somewhat ok for comedy, but what about news?
The gesture model may be a time-saver, but leaves people open to be influenced by shrewd marketers and politicians. If everyone is tuning in to the same show, who is discovering content? What is influencing them? Marketing? Advertising?
What about publishers that don’t have the means to market or advertise? Who finds them? How do they get their voice to be heard?

Ok, here is what it looks like to me, and I think that I am right.
If you go to http://newsgangbeta.tagregator.com/gang/ you will see three tabs below the title, The Gang, Techmeme, and Blogrunner. Each of these tabs will show you a river of links from these feeds. The Gesture is when someone clicks on a link. Those stories that get the most gestures show up on the active page and top stories.
So clicking on a link is a vote for that link.
I am using plucker to get a copy of newsgang and then put it on my palm pilot. So partial post feeds just don’t get read, and really long posts I can read. Its formatted wonderfully for a mobile browser. It wont work on my phone though.
