About

The Web Pitch (or blog speech) is a brief overview of an idea for a product, service, or project. The pitch is so called because it can be delivered in the space it takes to fill a web page or blog (say, 100-150 words).

The term is typically used in the context of a blog, pitching an idea to a future consumer or customer. Customers often judge the quality of the pitch by the number of individuals ranked responses from other web users. The basis of the quality of its web pitch, is to quickly weed out bad ideas.

This blog examines how individuals or businesses can use the web pitch, Web 2.0 technologies and social networking to better position their goods and services to customers on earth.

Who is Jas Dhaliwal?

I began my I.T. career working as a Systems Engineer, specialising in various desktop and server technologies. I then moved into the world of I.T. Service Delivery, helping corporate business to transform their I.T. from a support partner, to a true business partner. I have worked all over Europe and love working with culturally diverse teams.

In January 2007, I started a blog, (http://www.thewebpitch.com) looking at how small businesses are using Web 2.0 technologies as marketing tools. The blog is a personal passion and has opened my mind at how disruptive technologies are changing the way we interact with customers online. Behind my suit, you’ll find a geek who is passionate about people and obsessed with technology. I position myself strictly in between the technical and the business world. Thus, I’m happy conversing with technical engineers, whilst equally at home presenting to business leaders. I have a Bachelors degree in Information Systems and graduated with an MBA from London’s Brunel University in 2007. Learn more and come join the conversation.

    Hi,

    I’m attending FOWA in a bid to get speaking with Paul Graham of Y Combinator. I’m hoping to apply to YC and am looking for programmers in the UK to form a team with. Are you a business guy or do you have programming skills?

    Thanks

    Colin

    Hi Jas,

    I recently kicked-off our London office for http://www.JustMean.com - the social media site that rallies both companies and individuals around social responsibility.

    I was reading your blog about new businesses are using Web 2.0 to grow their business. I think you might be interested in what we are doing because of your focus using Social Media to help socially responsibile businesses expand their talent.

    We recently relaunched our social media platform and sold to 30 Founding Member companies. Our Founding Members are large and small companies, non-profits and social enterprises, all committed to using the growing social media movement on the web to communicate values and bring positive change. We are excited to watch them leverage our platform to further positive change in our world.

    The reason I am contacting you today is because we feel that our work at JustMeans is relevant to your readers - who would be interested to learn about new social media. If you this is of interest to you, please let me know. I would be happy to give you a tour of the platform and discuss our vision for the site.

    Thanks for your time and please let me know if you have any interest to connect.

    Regards,

    Kevin Long, COO

    Cheers and see you there I hope,
