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.'

Except as you know in numerous contacts from your followers (including me)– your hitting 55 puts a generic message in the Twitter stream with no information to convey the subject of the uploaded video.
What’s easy for you but is mostly annoying, repetitive, bordering on spam for your followers.
I notice a number of other people doing this as well, making Twitter much less useful not more in my opinion.
I am hoping you do not promote this mostly useless feature more until it gets a little more friendly at the consuming end.

all twitter has going for it is an install base, there’s no added functionality (which, granted, is why a lot of people like it). if they don’t capitalize on their user base by making their functionality more diverse (parsing how they handle bacn from other sites with better use of hash tags or threaded conversations) any app that becomes more popular can just integrate twitter-style APBs in their own 1st party flavor and they won’t need to worry about making money from just that small piece of functionality.

I had never thought of it until I read your post but I wonder if Twitter could make money on the back end by delivering information like pictures and video.
So for example, I take a video of something with my phone (I can’t do that without 3rd party add ons…thank you Apple…but lets pretend). Then I want to send it to friends. If twitter could write themselves a way to accept that type of input they could convert it to a Cell. Phone friendly format and then deliver it in a way that other people’s cell phones could view (placing a small ad at the beginning or end to make money)
It would take a lot of work though but it would be revolutionary if they could make it happen. They are going to have to come up with something else at this point because I just don’t think “ads in everyone’s feed” is going to pay the bills when all is said and done.
Anyway, just a weird thought that occurred to me but with most people having multimedia phones I think it would be interesting if they moved

What you’re describing is akin to what enterprises call their enterprise service bus (ESB). So a nice name for it would be Social Service Bus, or SSB. What would be nice than is that you can subscribe to someones services, (just like programs tend to do in an ESB) like: I want to receive roberts Tweets and his Qik messages, but am not interested in the other services that are accompanied with Robert.

I am so happy you shared this with everyone! The expression on everyone’s face is priceless when you show them what is going on. I have plans for this in a couple weeks too at a convention I am attending! Great coverage at Davos.
Also, if anyone interested and there are some tablet folks still out there, here’s a contest I posted on my blog to enter for a free tablet from Tablet Kiosk. You just need a little skill to design a new logo for the TabletPC2 website to be in the running.

Interesting conversation around the Twitter integration topic. It just so happens that Twitter went down after we deployed the release that included this feature (http://tinyurl.com/2jnvez), so it got me thinking about the interdependencies of services that leverage third-party APIs. On the plus side – and the reason we did the Twitter integration – is it allows those of our users who are also Twitter users, to notify their Twitter friends when they create a new Kyte show. The possible downside, as we saw with the outage, is that one of our features is dependent on a service we have no control over. At the end of the day though, the user benefits far out way the risks. At least we think so.
@Tom, regarding your thoughts on Twitter delivering Video and Pictures, that is exactly what Kyte does. And now with Twitter integration you can deliver them over Twitter. Well, you can’t really deliver Video and Pictures, but you can deliver a link to the video or pictures you just produced on Kyte.
This first Twitter integration we’ve done is very basic and rudimentary, and a kind of all or nothing approach. Basically you can set up your Kyte channel to send a tweet each time you produce a Kyte show, or turn it off completely. Not a lot of flexibility, and potentially annoying if you produce a lot of shows. Our next version will give you more control and flexibility, allowing you to send a tweet and customize it – or not – on a per show basis.

Robert your thoughts on twitter are interesting – but I think it is more likely that it will be something like the XMPP protocol that will be used to link these things together. I get my tweets via google talk which is based on XMPP – and Google are also integrating this into Android as the communication mechanism from phone to phone and phone to server in addition to user to user.
Twitter are showing how this sort of broadcasting can work but I think that a decentralised structure like XMPP will become important especially when you look at Twitter’s stability issues.

To save Twitter, we have to reinvent it. No way it scales in usage without a lot more filtering. No way it scales, with or without that filtering, without a whole new data query architecture.
And by the way, there are multiple reasons Twitter is very vulnerable to getting blown out by the big guys.
