In December, 2000 I started my Scobleizer blog.<\/p>\n
Damn, thinking about how much the world has changed since then. (I also posted this to Facebook at https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RobertScoble\/posts\/10153757484419655 ).<\/p>\n
Back then there was:
\nNo Facebook.
\nNo YouTube.
\nNo Twitter. Or Google+. Or Quora.
\nNo Uber. Or Lyft.
\nNo iPhone. Or iPads. Heck, even the iPod hadn’t been invented yet.
\nNo Android.
\nNo HDTV.
\nNo self driving cars.
\nNo Waze.
\nNo Google Maps.
\nNo Spotify. Or Soundcloud.
\nNo WordPress.
\nNo Wechat.
\nNo Flipkart.
\nNo AirBnb.
\nNo Flipboard.
\nNo LinkedIn.
\nNo AngelList.
\nNo Techcrunch.
\nNo Google Glass.
\nNo Y Combinator. Or Techstars. Or Geekdom.
\nNo AWS. Or OpenStack. Or Azure.
\nNo Snapchat.
\nNo Skype. Or Hangouts.
\nNo Yelp.
\nNo Kickstarter.
\nNo Apple Stores.
\nNo Periscope. Or HangW\/. Or Meerkat. Or, even, Qik or Kyte, which are gone now.
\nNo IFTTT.
\nNo Nest.
\nNo drones.
\nNo Kindle.
\nNo Foursquare.
\nNo Pebble. Fitbit. Or Apple Watch.
\nNo Tesla. Or Hybrid cars. Or electric cars. <\/p>\n
I can’t remember how we survived back then.<\/p>\n
If I live another 15 years, what will we see?<\/p>\n
Maybe I should fire up my blog again. I was thinking of doing that as a repository of my newsletter. http:\/\/www.scobleizer.com<\/p>\n
Oh, and thanks to Dori Smith and Dave Winer. The two of them convinced me to start a blog (they were speakers at a conference I was helping plan back then, working for Dan Shafer). I thought blogging wasn’t important enough to add a session about it to our conference. Now there are conferences on blogging, even a famous one just for women bloggers. But they got me to start and Dave’s blog at http:\/\/www.scripting.com is still at the top of my reading list.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
