The document discusses strategies for effectively communicating with developers as a technical evangelist. It recommends:
1) Understanding developer subcultures and communicating using relevant "memes" and topics like HTML5 and cloud computing.
2) Recognizing that developers pride themselves on their intelligence so messages should be authentic and avoid "pitching things you can't discuss."
3) Choosing appropriate metrics like social media engagement, page views, and SDK downloads to measure impact and continuously improve outreach.
4) Identifying a "hot sauce" like YQL that integrates services and toolkits to start cross-selling other products and build the brand.
