Fast Pitch PR Service a Hit Among Business Professionals

Sarasota, FL, February 20, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Fast Pitch (www.fastpitchnetworking.com), the fastest growing online destination of professionals looking to network and market their business, recently enhanced their Fast Pitch Press Release service to allow people the ability to distribute their release to a variety of media outlets as well as members of the Fast Pitch community. The new feature gives users more control over the distribution of their release to traditional media outlets while also guranteeing exposure to professionals within the the Fast Pitch community who are eager to network.

Fast Pitch Press, which has been active since November 2006, has already become one of the largest press distribution channels on the Internet, having witnessed a 500% increase in press postings each week since its inception. The press release service is viewed as a natural extension for Fast Pitch, which describes itself as a 'one-stop-shop' for networking and marketing business. The new distribution feature allows members to have their press release sent to their own targeted list of media outlets. The current list available to members includes thousands of outlets ranging from nationally recognized print media such as The New York Times, Business Week and Inc. Magazine, and well as local newspapers and dailys.

"My press release was listed on Google News less than two hours after I posted it on Fast Pitch," said Angie Tyler of Calypso Blu Designs. "Their ability to get my press listed so quickly, combined with the new customized distribution features makes this service extremely effective. I'll be posting all of my future releases with Fast Pitch from now on."

Launched in 2003, Fast Pitch is one of the fastest growing online networks of professionals, boasting hundreds of thousands of professionals from around the world who actively network and market their business through the one-stop shop system designed to connect buyers and sellers. Members begin by creating a one-page company profile that lets the world know what they do, who they sell to, and what makes them better. Once the profile is completed, members have the ability to network with others, advertise, post press, events, blogs and more.

Posting press releases on Fast Pitch is simple and free. The easy-to-use interface lets users create and post a release within minutes. Once complete, users have the option of upgrading their release and distributing it to targeted media outlets locally and nationally. Upgraded press releases receive more exposure through the Fast Pitch Presswebsite (www.fastpitchpress.com) by allowing each user the ability to add images, and submit to the largest search engines including Google, Yahoo, MSN and more. Additionally, upgraded accounts can view statistics about each release including how many people viewed it and in some cases, who viewed it.

"This is a valuable service for not only business owners, but PR Firms as well," said Bill Jula, Founder of Fast Pitch. "PR Firms that become Premium Members will receive search engine optimization & submission as well as targeted distribution for every release they submit on behalf of their clients. For very little investment, a PR Firm can provide their clients with quantitative data about the exposure each release received. This is vital to the success of their business."
