Showing off the World Wide Talk Show to Media Bistro
Today I gave a talk which is getting lots of kudos at the Media Bistro Circus here in New York. I showed a ton of stuff including Qik, Asterpix, Seesmic, FriendFeed, Twitter, Twittervision, Dotsub, Fast Company.tv, Snackr, and Twhirl.
Allen Stern at Centernetworks filmed it and said nice things about me, which I greatly appreciate. He said “I captured his entire discussion (~15 minutes) and it’s worth watching.”

Robert,
OK - Gotta ask ya this - A Scoble show on Revision 3? What’s the plan?
Also, if this rumour is true, I want to be the first to predict that it’s going to be MASSIVE!

Thanks Robert - I thought your talk was very good because it wasn’t really about online video at all - it was about the new online video and more importantly - discovery. And that’s where it’s at.

I like the banner pose on the top. I’m planning to make one like that for my blog. You rock! You are the authority here.

What is Asterpix? Snackr I found recently I like. Glad your talk got a good reception. Don’t forget Minggl, which I know you’ve also talked about previously.

Robert,
Do you remember the Matthew McConaughey movie Ed TV from 1999?
You’re living it, and the world is interested.

[...] This pompous, self-congratulatory and useless blog post is the work of none other than Robert Scoble. Why is this not surprising? [...]

Just your usual ’shiny toy’ overmicrowaved oatmeal mush…anyone giving you kudos for that, should pick a new profession. I guess the hope for journalists doing proper research (again) is a lost cause, why they have Web 2.0 tinker-toys to play with, sniffing sources from Google, never needing to leave the bars.

Awesome video. Scoble, you are something else!

What? No whiteboard with spider-web-like flowchart diagrams, showing how it all works together in some universally-uniform systematic mesh?
I feel cheated.
But hey, the echoooy background-noise seriously bad audio is an classic Scoble touch…not to mention the audience-view far angle, and the self-promotional Scoble and Friends usual blather.

Though it sounded egoistic, I must say that the facts are accurate.
I for one did received Scoble’s quake tweet way before any other news source announced it almost half an hour to an hour later. It was via twitter that people who are concerned like me found twitters who were reporting from the quake zone to supply news.
All other modes of communication like mobile phones were down at the time. Somehow, the internet stayed up, and twitter was the means through which messages were sent overseas.

@David Poon
Sounded egotistical? Ya think??? When Scoble speaks, how can it not?
As for Twitter, while this is certainly an interesting example of Twitter, it’s purely anecdotal. We are a LONG LONG way away from Twitter beng a reliable tool for communication given how often it is NOT functioning.
