Has anyone ever tried to pitch their idea/website on a reality T.V. show such as American Inventor? I was a pitcher/presentor on CBC's Dragons' Den (here in Canada) and one of the presenters pitched a job website called JobLoft...

 any thoughts or storys?

Don't waste your time with American Inventor. It is a joke from the "American Idol" camp. They are just looking for laughs, not serious products:

Uh, television sleazy?

C'mon, man.

Even a hypermoral person like Oprah is pure sleaze if you know what you're looking at.

not a reality TV show but i've put several of the ideas I don't have time to pursue up on Cambrian House->

I've taken 2nd in a couple of their Ideawarz tournaments but have not won yet. They had the Dragons' Den guy (Sean Wise) join their board not long ago.

The RenderJuice virtual render farm ( http://www.cambrianhouse.com/idea/idea-promoter/ideas-id/VlD...) is a very good idea. I was discussing this scenario a few days ago and the current barrier is the rendering software. Open source rendering software is improving and could make a virtual render farm viable within 15 months.

I actually got to meet Sean Wise a few times and the guy really knows his stuff. he has a website.. www.insidethedragonsden.com which he comments on the show
