How cool would it be to tell your boss you aren’t comin’ back to work on Twitter? That’s what Jonathan Schwartz, CEO of Sun Microsystems did.

So the next day he tweets that he wants to write a book about the experience and asking his followers to tell what they want him to write about. He even has a hashtag to get the buzz going. #jonathanbook
There’s a problem.
He has over 10,000 followers but is only following (as of to[......]
