This is pretty cool. I like the simplicity of the whole thing. It definitely makes you cut down your pitch to a handful of words. Check out my pitch here:

I definitely think embedding the audio in the page somehow should be your next step.

I was messing around with Twilio last week for AgileTask. It is pretty neat, and has some really cool functionality.

Best of luck.

*Update: Make the "PitchPower" text at the top of the permalink page into a link back to the main page. If I post this on twitter or facebook, some people are naturally going to try to click that heading to see what PitchPower is.

Nice pitch, direct and to the point and I understood everything.

The only thing missing would be a little excitement. You sounded a bit bored.

Yeah, you were the first one to do a real pitch & I was thinking the same. Be a little more positive & articulate clearly. Feel free to try again! ;-)

Haha thanks for the feedback on the pitch. Maybe I'll run through it again once I get some more coffee :)

I just saw your pitch generated about 100 pageviews, do you see any traffic on your side?

We noticed a small little spike for sure.

Thanks for the data point, I'm pondering which direction to go with this: community (pitch & receive some free traffic) or service (pitch until you're pitch-perfect ... ha)

Pitch until you're pitch-perfect. Definitely.

Besides sounding better, it's actually much more useful.
