When is the best time to promote your startup (e.g., on what day of the week and at what time)?

This is a serious question.

Consider for example making a submission to reddit or digg. When would be a good time to do so to maximize the expected number of people who will check it out?

At this point, Digg and Reddit are hard to use unless you game them. It's so random as to whether it gets dugg/buried or up'd/down'd at the beginning. I hope you have a lot of friends with the right accounts or a way of paying $1/Digg.

Well, you used to be able to cheat your way to the top of Reddit - http://reddit.com/info/1e7za/comments - but spez fixed that little hole.

You probably can still do it on Digg - I went after Reddit because I figured it'd be harder, but I bet Digg is full of XSS and XSRF vulnerabilities.

For that matter, use something small and fun like 2prong.com to pump out fake accounts. Digg yourself 30 times or so and you'll be headed up
