When we merged with Silicon Graphics and Alias, they asked what I would do going forward, the job was evanglist, but I still hated the title. We came up with something that was much better and much more appropriate. Ambassador. In fact, that title on my business card opened more doors that Co-Founder. People wanted to know what a Technology Amabassador was, and did - and I told them. I love the title and really grew into the role.</div>\

I researched every possible laptop.  Alienware, Dell, HP, Toshiba, and Powerbooks.  After about a week of research, I decided that the Powerbook was the way to go.  And ill never go back.  When I talk to my friends about buying an Apple computer they say stuff like "well I wont be able to right click" or "does it have AIM?".  These questions come from a lack of research.  If they actually did research, as I did, they would realize that having a machine with no virus threat, a secure UNIX background, and they STILL can do everything they could do on a windows machine, they would surely "switch".  (most of them anyways, price still remains a factor).  The reason apple fans become evangelists is because the product is just that good.</div>\

It\'s easy to make the mistake of (for instance), "WOW!  Vista\'s SO cool!  Check out the new Backup Manager for instance!"  Sorry.  A backup manager will never be cool.  It will never inspire thrills.  It\'s a nice upgrade, but pimping it as an example of how cool Vista is (not that Scoble is guilty of this) is totally worthless, and backfires.<br><br>That\'s what a technology evangelist has to do.  Find the parts of their product that CAN thrill, and then expose them to the people for whom it will make a difference.<br><br>It won\'t always work. Tablets won\'t thrill me.  They won\'t even be a consideration until they\'re less than a tenth of the price of a real laptop.  The lack of a decent keyboard is a murderous loss for me.  At 1/10th the price of a real laptop, I might get behind it as a wireless email &amp; web browsing dumb terminal, but I\'d never do real work on it.  There\'s no cool technology there.  There may be some hard problems solved in getting handwriting recognition to work, or gestures, but as a user or developer, I really don\'t care, because it doesn\'t make what *I* do any more interesting.<br><br>Anyhow, that\'s my small essay on the balance of what a technical evangelist has to do.  Find the stuff that the audience will think is exciting, and then excite them about it.<br><br>--  Morgan Schweers, CyberFOX!</div>\

For what its worth, I use a windows laptop because of ubiquity, a custom-built windows desktop  to record music for some of the some reasons, a Linux desktop by choice, and no Mac by choice (not even an iPod), because of Apple\'s traditional control over hardware choices (said iPod for example) and cause I always build my desktops myself.<br><br>That said, OSX is the best desktop OS out there.

You\'ve conditioned them to expect comparisons on salient points instead of being on the receiving end of talking brochure-ware.<br><br>And that enhances how the customer perceives your company because you\'ve added value to their consideration of your products and the competitor\'s.</div>\

The purpose of a brand is to engage customers in ways that create new forms of value. That’s what you do. You always seem to operate in “brand mode,” which is when one’s brain burns with the question: “What is holding our customers back?”  Whenever the brand team, or an evangelist, thinks like that, good things happen for customers.</div>\
