ZDNet: JP Rangaswami and the future of Salesforce.com: The appointment of JP Rangaswami as Salesforce.com’s first chief scientist could push the company in an even more radical direction than we’ve already seen if he’s given any say in product strategy.
This is the first I am learning of JP's move from British Telecom to Salesforce.com. JP, of course, is the guy who introduced me to Twitter. According to WeFollow.com, I am number 52 in NYC on Twitter.

Congrats JP. Keep making bold moves.

So JP sends me a direct message on Twitter last year. He is passing through town, let's meet. I get excited. He is based out of London otherwise. I am waiting for another direct message, maybe a tweet, an email perhaps about where and when. Ends up he was speaking at a Twitter conference and he assumed I knew about it and would be there. I was not there. Then I read a tweet from him: flying off to London. I send him a DM: JP, you stood me up! He says, where were you, I was looking for you all over the conference.
