Add an 'upload pitch' feature to the website so that you don't have to call a phone number and can try a couple of times without wasting trans-atlantic phone calls if you are in some place other than that US?

I'm sure people in the developing world with good stuff would like that too.

Very nice concept!

To anyone else who's trying: you can use Google Voice to make free international calls. Something I sadly only found out after spending some $$$ while building this thing.

You can make free calls to the US and Canada using Gmail. I think that's different than saying Google Voice gives you free international calls.

Google Voice on its own is just a forwarding service, and is only available for user in the US.

(Not being pedantic, just clarifying in case someone gets confused.)

Felideon, I stand corrected: Gmail does NOT do free international calls, but for all practical purposes Gmail + PitchPower is still free.

Is the sound quality of a google voice connection comparable to an MP3? (I haven't used it GV)
