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.'

Hi Robert,
You said “Also, I’m seeing items multiple times even in the Your shared items feed. Those need to be joined together in one item.” Did you share the duplicate items separately, or did the duplicates suddenly appear without you doing anything? Either way, if you’d like to help us debug this, feel free to email me the duplicate item URLs and source feeds, or a screenshot of the problem.

Mihai: I’ll put together an email for you later today.
The duplicate items weren’t shared by me: they were shared by other people. I’m seeing them come through twice, once shared by XXXXX and another time shared by YYYYYY. I’ll try to get an example to share with you. Heh. Too much sharing going on.

I’ve wished for an “arithmetic” of blogs before. I want to be able to add or subtract feeds from one another. You want to eliminate dupes from your friends, I want to eliminate the dupes in your Scoble link blog, and I wouldn’t mind not seeing the stuff in Techmeme that I go to the horse’s mouth for either.
This would be an awfully useful feature for Google to provide, and it sure doesn’t seem as if it ought to be that hard to implement.
Cheers,
BW

Sounds like a shortcut to ma.gnolia/del.icio.us/etc. Since we’re on the topic of Scoble, my Google Reader Trends tells me that 4% of the articles I read are due to Items Shared by Scobleizer.com.
Perhaps more importantly, Scoble is…
#3 on my list for items read
#2 on my list for items starred
#1 on my list for items shared
And to connect to the stat above, Scoble is responsible for 7% of my starred items and 17% of my shared items.
Looking forward to a more social Google Reader. Google Reader already helps me fish out the 50-80 articles/day that are worth reading. Pre-Reader, I probably only read 10 articles/day and perhaps only 1 was relevant.

You should “corank” your Google Reader friends’ feed. It should add another layer for ranking semiautomatically what these friends find interesting or not 😉

As an avid feed reader, this is great news. As it’s “peer reviewed” feeds. Complementary to link blogs of people – there’s a threshold level here – is it interesting enough to share? Pick the right people, and then there’s a very fast turnaround from an interesting article being in any particular field your friends look at, to it being put into a rss feed folder.
But it goes further. It could be seen as a disruptor to old school media (e.g. TV news)- A feed changing in minutes, in all areas. With the potential to link to up to date information, and *in depth* (TV is a crappy medium for in depth news).
Along the left side of Google Reader there’s now a new entry “Friends’ shared items.” What I do is read this folder first, then click over to All items which then won’t have any duplicates in it.
Suddenly the signal: noise ratio may be better again.
With the potential to add personal comments on the articles too, me likey.
The potential springing off of this is cool too – link with a social network, doing analysis from the metadata (e.g. seeing a story go from wire to net to blog to tv to paper, tracing).
Like Amazon, one of it’s great features is a human based “people who’ve looked at this also have looked at this” type functions. More to come? Link it in with offline reading, and shebang – grab the “best articles as voted by your friends” and as you say, it’s pretty high quality feed material if you’re pressed for time and want to catch up.

I may be mistaken but have they semi fixed this? Your link blog is no longer in the general feeds area. It is now solely in the ‘Friends’ section

Robert: Here’s a question for you… what will you do when you add someone who has NSFW material in their shared items? I thought about adding you, just to play around with the new feature, but didn’t want to be responsible for giving a new father a heart attack. 🙂
If nothing else, consider this a cautionary note… you never know what your friends will find interesting on a day-to-day basis.
(Hey, Mihai! Any chance you can give us a “Share Restricted” feature that will only display the item’s headline when viewed as a shared feed?)

Roger: NSFW stuff doesn’t bother me. I won’t share that stuff with my readers, though (unless it’s a Hugh Macleod cartoon).
My son has already seen stuff that’s far worse than anything I can imagine you putting on your blog.

We wrote a similar article you might want to check out. Plus we’re trying to get as many people to comment links to their Google Shared Items so we can have a more complete list of what’s out there. To share yours, be sure and comment:

“Your Friends are Your Filter” – this is similar to what the Mefeedia team is doing for video. There are some amazing filters in place to eliminate as much noise as possible, which is plentiful in the video world.
I would venture to say filtering is even more important for video b/c it is more time consuming to “scan” video since the titles usually don’t tell you much.
