other than professional lobby- and fanboyism; what's exactly an w20 advisor's job who has a finger in every pie?

Thomas, since you asked, the public appearance may be promotional in nature, but that's very little of the process. In fact, since signing on as an advisor for ReadBurner, I've probably gotten quieter about the service.
As an advisor, what I intend to do is come up with new product directions for SocialToo and ReadBurner, or others I get the opportunity to help, to act as a sounding board for strategy on product development, partnerships, networking, quality assurance, etc.
This isn't about Marketing. It's about product development and acting as a partner. And Doug... thanks for the article.
