Welcome to Classic ScobleShow

It started with an innocuous audio interview with the then-President of the Products and Technology Group at SAP AG, Shai Agassi. Then came Sun Microsystems CEO Jonathan Schwartz, sitting at a table with an umbrella. It wasn’t long before Scoble introduced us to Thomas Hawk (investment advisor by day, ubiquitous digital media creator by night). There was the Golden Gate Bridge walk (spread over three parts!), and then came pumpkins — lots of pumpkins. Somewhere between the Golden Gate Bridge and the pumpkin patch, conversations with entrepreneurs like b5media Founder and President Jeremy Wright and SmugMug CEO Don MacAskill.

There was lunch with Bill Gates and another lunch with Mark Cuban. We met folks from Salesforce and Zillow, SocialText, Retrevo and Maxthon. We met political bloggers and a presidential candidate on the campaign trail.

But one of our favorites? It’s an interview with Microsoft’s Gary Flake on Photosynth.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Robert Scoble is still the author of the incredibly popular tech geek blog, Scobleizer.com. He’s also the managing director over at FastCompany.tv, where ScobleShow editor and producer Rocky Barbanica is also now a senior producer.

Since that fateful first ScobleShow, Agassi has moved on to found Project Better Place, in order to pursue interests in alternative energy and climate change. Jonathan Schwartz is still at Sun, still blogging, and lots of the start-ups we met are still kicking around, some of them very successfully! It’s worth taking a few minutes to surf through the archives, or just wait to see what pops up in the Classic feed. Good for a few goofy laughs and a little insight into where we’ve been and where we might be going. Oh, and Thomas Hawk is still evangelizing for photo sharing and digital media, and still believes that the best pictures in the world have yet to be taken.

Don MacAskill, co-founder and CEO of Smugmug, gives us a little tour of the Smugmug office and also demonstrates for my cameras its new photo and video sharing service which blows away other photo sharing sites on large monitors.

Mad Mojitos at the Ritz: talking tech with CEOs from B5 Media and SmugMug

Robert Scoble — Tue, 26 Sep 2006 06:22:05 +0000

On weekends I like to walk down to the Half Moon Bay Ritz Carlton resort. It’s nice, as you’ll see (stick around for the bagpiper at the end, he comes down playing his music every Saturday an hour before sunset). Anyway, on a recent weekend Jeremy Wright, CEO and founder of B5 Media, a blogging network, came to visit me. While at the Ritz we met up with Don MacAskill, CEO of SmugMug, a popular photo-sharing service.

So why call this “Mad Mojitos?” Well, before we turned on the camera we had one of the Ritz’ famous Peach Mojitos. It’s a good way to get CEOs to loosen up a little bit and share more about what makes their businesses special.
