Slow Balls and Fast Pitches
Slow Balls and Fast pitches is AD:TECH’s version of speed dating.
Five companies each got five minutes to pitch to two tough judges.
As a reality show it combined elements of American Idol and The Apprentice
and just might get better ratings than does ABC on most nights.
The judges (Tom Beeby of Modem Media and Greg van den Dries) were
from the “tough but fair” school of judging. While not in the league of Simon or the Donald, they acquitted themselves well. The presenting companies (Dotomi, Quigo Technologies, Icon Media Labs, Studio One Networks and Oddcast) were earnest and grateful (at least in public) for the criticism. Some got critiqued for their presentatation, others for their product or service. Presumably the exposure to the somewhat sparse audience was worth the abuse.
