No more goofing off

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Astute watchers of Scoble’s temple of ego (cute site, by the way, that one of my readers built — it shows everything I do including Twitter, Flickr, Google Reader, and other sites) know that I’ve been goofing off. I haven’t been reading feeds much since early January. Been traveling and hanging out in Switzerland eating too much cheese.

But now we are coming back and the real work begins. On Wednesday Rocky and me are going to Seattle to visit some companies up there for our FastCompany.tv opening on March 3. Next week? Beverly Hills to visit MySpace. And, yeah, I’ll start reading feeds again, among other things. Anyway, today we’re traveling back to the states and will be back online late Monday, Pacific Time.

Got any questions to ask MySpace next week?

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.'

  1. Robert, of interest, FriendFeed will build that “temple of ego”, automatically. In fact, as you haven’t yet joined the service, I made you an “Imaginary friend”, which creates it.

    Here’s what it looks like, with Blog + Google Reader + Twitter + Flickr, etc.

    If you need an invite, I’ll send one your way.

  3. Robert, here’s a question for MySpace:

    What about a redesign?

    That rumor was drifting around weeks ago, and I’d be curious to hear any of their comments.

  8. Heres a question for Myspace…why do they suck and steak stuff from Facebook?

    I just don’t think that stealing other peoples ideas are right, and Myspace demonstrates that…

    Have a good trip, none the less 🙂

  17. MySpace:

    Would like to know the genesis of the idea for MySpace?

    Did they predict the type of success they would have?

    Are they considering starting their own Search Engines?

    Why did they not buy YouTube?

    Would they consider a merger with Yahoo?

    How do they see themselves developing by the beginning of the next decade?

  26. Hmm, how about:
    1) Open ID plans
    2) Thoughts on if most social networking sites are walled gardens, and whether MySpace wants to change this.
    3) Their thoughts on their plans vs. current status of their competitors.
    4) Would be interesting to hear the social trends they can see from having a top down look at all their users.

  28. It would be nice to know the following about Myspace.

    First a word of praise, I emailed them for the first time ever with the tech help question recently – they gave me an answer that actually solved my problem in one answer, the first time. Far exceeded my expectations. Why aren’t they leveraging the fact that they actually have customer service when Facebook and Digg don’t?

    I’ve seen a lot of talk about the lack of monentization from ads in the past few weeks in social networks. What are their thoughts on this issue and the future of it?

    When they delete spam accounts, why don’t they delete the associated spam invites that get sent out?

  30. @Robert: I’m one of the geeks behind Alertle and I saw you linked a link to it in your link blog. Since you are looking to get back to reading feeds, if you haven’t yet, how about trying Alertle.com out 🙂 It is perfect for reading a high-volume of feeds. Infact, on Alertle, you can go through ~1000 feeds within a few minutes with minimum use of the keyboard and the mouse ! (It has a unique feature called “Autoplay” which enables that).

    Here’s a newer demo: http://blog.alertle.com/?p=14
    There is also a post on the blog on how it compares to Google Reader. This is why you can easily move to Alertle:
    – You can import your 600 (or so?) feeds via OPML.
    – You can then create a ‘feedpack’ called ‘Scoble’ and share all your feeds with others. Those who are interested in reading what feeds you are reading can simply subscribe to it.

    You can read more in Alertle in the same time and can then post to your link blog via the ‘other’ feed reader 🙂

    Its been 3 days since our launch and we do plan on adding features to share articles and comment on them from within Alertle.
