Since Revelation has grown so much over the past year, it has become harder and harder for me to find the time to be able to explore ways to use the online medium for qualitative research and then share what I've learned through writing, speaking, blogging, etc.  This is such a key part of what drives Revelation - being as driven about methodology as we are about technology -  that we have created a position that focuses on these activities. We call the position Methdology Evangelist. Here's what a Methodolgy Evangelist does and needs to bring to the table:
