Speak in terms of benefits, not features. No cares about features. They care about themselves. "What's in it for me?" we all subconsciously ask ourselves. Benefits answer that question.

After that, make it super-simple to try out. The more friction, the less traction. Ironic, huh.

Still applies. It's still a "sale" on Twitter. On HN. In forums. To colleagues. Etc.

Where to pitch is the easy part. Getting the pitch right. Well, that's where things go wrong too often.
