Thank you Guy Kawasaki

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I have started reading my Google Reader feeds again. Of course, if you followed my FriendFeed page you would already have known that.

But, Google Reader isn’t as efficient for finding something different, I’ve found, as just scanning a page of headlines.

That’s where Guy Kawasaki comes in. He has a page of ego bloggers. I like it, because I’m on top. Hey, if you are gonna be on an ego blog page you better have a competitive ego, no? Heheh.

Anyway, I was scanning this page. I read lots of these people already, but I’ve missed a bunch cause I just can’t keep up with everything on Google Reader anymore.

There I found a blog by Jimmy Guterman on O’Reilly’s blogs and one of his headlines was “Amazing TED Talk.”

Indeed, it was. Amazing.

So, thank you Guy Kawasaki for bringing me the egos which, in between being egotistical or whatever got us all on this page, did bring me an amazing TED Talk.

The talk? Jill Bolte Taylor’s talk, where she talks you through her own stroke. She’s a Harvard neuroanatomist.

Can I use the word “amazing” again? This video deserves it.

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.

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.'

  7. I see Fake Steve Jobs is at the top. I remember there used to be a fake Bill Gates, but maybe he retired. Fake Scobleizer can’t be far behind. 😉

    And ZeFrank is in there. I thought he’d retired, but he’s got a text blog down the left side of his home page. And plenty of traffic still.

  9. Hey Scoble, did you know yahoo small business unit sucks?

    Don’t you ever try hosting anything with them, if you have any problem you are out of luck, they never answer your emails, they just don’t care.

    If you know some heavy ass there please tell them to fire the whole customer service unit.

    And yes, I am pissed off!

    When did the whole thing turn into an ego trip?

    Is it the equivalent of the elite lounge at the airport?

    Maybe we are in the danger zone when we start to believe our own hype and listen to ourselves talking rather than others.

    Thanks Gary for that

  15. I like alltop but not as a platform for reading but for discovering new blogs to follow. First time I looked at it I think I added 15 new feeds to my reader. I haven’t noticed if the list has changed since it was launched but I’ll hit every now and then to see if any new feeds are interesting.

  19. Oh my god egos is so typically US-centric and sad. When will you, Gabe and Guy realise there is more to the internet than just reporting/repeating a bunch of self centered A[merican]-list bloggers but you are all so up each others A[rses] it doesn’t surprise me.

    Read any American newspaper and the world/global news is normally a footnote at the end of the paper.

    Wake up smell the coffee, the world hates fat, loud stupid yanks and lists like the one Guy has produced is a reflection of this introverted nature.

    What will you all do when the bubble 2.0 goes pop?
