Thanks for the feedback. I stand corrected regarding the blogger request flood. I agree with the need for compellingness and a simple, short pitch.

The bottom line is that you really need to understand your opportunity so well that you can reduce to 8 words and still have people understand what you are trying to accomplish. It really makes you focus. Save all the flowery language for when you have investors attention and can afford to use more words.
