World’s Coolest Job Description
Got an email a couple of days ago from an internet correspondent that was really entertaining. He is talking to a company about a new position and they had trouble describing the job to him in detail. Finally, they told him they wanted him to “Be our Jeff Barr.” He had never heard of me before but found me after a quick Google search. We had a good phone call yesterday and I gave him the full scoop on what life is like as a technical evangelist. I hope that he gets the job, and I am flattered that I am now being used as a job description!
Eh, “Be our Jeff Greene” would be cooler. :)
Cool nonetheless.

That’s great. You should trademark yourself. I make an excellent Francis Shanahan the problem is despite the short supply the demand is also fairly low.

Wait ’til you become a verb… Lol! “I Jeff Barred that product to the n00bs…” Even better when you get your own Wikipedia entry… See esp. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_evangelist
