(2012-07-18) Scoble Israel Contextual Book

Shel Israel and Robert Scoble are collaborating on a new book possibly titled The Age of Context: How it Will Change Your Life and Work.

*First, the trends. We’re seeing something new happen because of:

1. Proliferation of always-connected sensors.
2. New kinds of cloud-based databases.
3. New kinds of contextual SDKs.

• like this new Qualcomm Gimbal SDK

4. A maturing in social data that nearly everyone is participating in.
5. Wearable computers and sensors like the Nike Fuel Band, Fit Bit, and soon the Google Glass-es.*

This also ties into Scoble's recent post on "ScalableLiving".

• He likes FaceBook's Frictionless Sharing as long as that stream gets filtered - boy would I not want FaceBook, or any other free service, to be my Universal Inbox.
• He challenges 2012-07-01-KreiderBusyTrap. The article is wrong. The first rule of scalable living is to get control of your inbound. That means telling a lot of people “sorry, I’m too busy to have lunch with you today.” (Say No)
