Flamewars in the Blogosphere

July 1, 2008 - Comments

September 13, 2007 - Comments

What is it about Apple that causes otherwise intelligent people to throw away all trace of common sense?

    Twitter Pitch!

    <p>Twitter pitching is a form of pitch that requires succint "what does this mean for me" kind of pitching. It is the ultimate efficiency of words. You have 140 characters or less to tell me why your pitch matters to me or my readers. Please include a means of contacting you. This is included in your 140 characters. If you send successive pitches, you will likely be ignored, unless it's obvious that the first pitch was a case of "accidental send", etc.</p> <p>This form of pitching does not mean I'm being a diva. It means that my time is valuable, and you want a piece of it. It's good practice for you, and delivers your pitch in a format I want. Win-win.</p>
