Any ideas how I could get people to participate in my live Internet application experiment for my thesis? I have developed an Internet application that I need people to run across the Internet to collect statistics to see how well the program works.  So far, I have used LinkedIn to reach out to my friends from my university and I started an open group.  I also have a Git page where the program can be downloaded.

I don't think the participation is going to be what I would like, so I need a way to find more users willing to run the program.

Any ideas on how to reach others in academia or elsewhere on a broader level?
First: If you intend to do research, you have to pay attention to how you pick the participants. If you just take everyone willing to participate, there could be age/gender/etc bias in your results.

Answer to actual question: Standard way to do this is to pay your participants (though not necessarily in cash). Try movie tickets etc.
