Pitch for Ping.it
Company / App Name: Ping.it

What does it do?
Ping.it is a hybrid social/email service for relevant personal recommendations (pings) offering you the quickest and simplest way to notify other people about pages they might enjoy and to get personal tips about interesting content.
Why do we need it?
An average Internet user spends 12 hours on news consumption every day and still, despite the popularity of social media, the majority of pp (66%) use email to send links. Ping.it solves information overload and makes sending links quicker.
Who is it for?
It works great for anyone in need of well-targeted sharing: project teams (students and co-workers), journalists, fan groups, teachers and enthusiasts of all sort of things.
What makes it stand out from the crowd?
Visually beautiful and spam-free online inbox (no address to be reached by unsolicited content), private social clusters (private and public groups), bookmarklet that allows the users to ping their contacts from any page they’re viewing.
What’s next?
If it works the way we imagine, we plan to make it easy to ping songs, videos, games, products and other things. And, of course, we want to go mobile.
