A few weeks ago Fred Wilson wrote about the (frankly brilliant) hijacking by Eric at Feedburner of his fred’spodcast tag to do an elevator pitch. So Fred set up a special fred’selevatorpitch tag just for this purpose.
Then Brad Feld pointed people to his for:bradfeld tag
Both of these guys probably get 1,000 unsolicited business plans per year thrown over the transom, the vast majority of which they never see because associates filter them out. Now that they’ve developed big online profiles via blogging, I’m sure they now get a blizzard of emails from aspiring entrepreneurs pitching them on the Next Big Thing. [Full disclosure: I’ve done that to Brad, but not Fred (yet).

So how long before they start getting thousands of “interesting” links and podcasts that are basically just pitches. Hmmm… An evil person might post these on an MLM forum.
