What is the best way to promote your new fancy web application?
jfarmer: Promoting a website is the same as promoting any other product:1) Identify your target market
2) Find a distribution channel
3) Pursue your target marketMany startups go the TechCrunch route, but unless your target market is Silicon Valley technologists it's probably not a smart move.  Put another way, not all customers are created equal.When I was first launching Appaholic (now Adonomics) I posted aggressively in the Facebook developer forums.  Beyond that I pursued SEO.Most startup people I know think a bit about (1), very little about (2), and jump right into (3).  Be methodical and data-oriented, instead.
