Jeff Jarvis
One of the Leading Web Futurists
Jeff Jarvis is the creator of the popular weblog BuzzMachine, which tracks developments in new media, and is now co-host on This Week in Google, a TWiT.tv show about cloud computing and social networking. He gained national notoriety when he wrote about his negative experiences in dealing with Dell Computer’s customer support system on his website.
Named one of 100 worldwide media leaders by the World Economic Forum at Davos in 2007 & 2008
Jeff Jarvis was one of the first to report on the aftermath at the World Trade Center attacks, having just arrived on the last train from New Jersey as the first plane struck. The experience was what spurred him on to his new “career” as a blogger. He is the former television critic for TV Guide and People magazine, creator of Entertainment Weekly, Sunday editor and associate publisher of the New York Daily News, and a columnist on the San Francisco Examiner. He has appeared frequently on TV and radio, including ABC’s 20/20 and World News Tonight, CNN’s Reliable Sources, MSNBC (where he was a regular blog contributor), Fox News, Oprah, PBS’ News Hour, CNBC’s Kudlow & Company and The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, the BBC, Sky News (where he is a regular contributor), and public radio’s Marketwatch and Morning Edition.[/expand]
One of the few new-media consultant types who came over from old media, highly respected blogger, media commentator and thought leader, Jeff Jarvis has been a consultant and guru to companies that range from The New York Times Company to General Motors, and is a frequent keynote speaker and business leadership speaker for companies and at conferences around the globe, most notably at the World Economic Forum at Davos. In talks, he provides an indispensable manual for survival and success and asks the most important question today’s leaders, in any industry, can ask themselves: What would Google do?[/expand]
Jeff Jarvis’ style is personal and immediate. He’s has a natural charisma, with an ability to entwine his life and those of the rest of us in his musings. He expertly presents his ideas for surviving and prospering in the Internet age, with its new set of rules for emerging technologies as well as industries such as retail, manufacturing, and service.[/expand]
