Paul Irish is a major contributor to a number of OS web projects and a leading evangelist for HTML5 and CSS3. Yeah, like you said, he's a nobody.

Also an evangelist on the jQuery Team and co-host of yayquery podcast.

"Evangelist" is the new "blogger".

I've met a few people with "Evangelist" titles and I got the sense it meant "nice guy we don't really want to fire but have no real job for"

Like Dave Morin on the Facebook platform?

How bout Twilio? I'm sure Twilio's trying to actively waste money

Sorry for the bad form. Working on it.

Soon to be followed by "pirate", I expect, if this goes on ...

(The LI blog also graphs evangelist-vs-guru; the latter is on the outs. No units in either graph.)
