Ask HN: How do you promote a splash page?

Posted by martinshen on Sunday February 20, 2011 @02:00AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I'm pushing my splash page as we make the final fixes and edits to our Stumble Upon for Things to Do (and places to go) web app, UpOut.com.

Any recommendations for building hype or getting sign ups for the teaser page? We're planning to launch this baby for beta testing in the next 2 weeks.

Have you posted to your facebook, twitter, youtube yet? Offer a contest or two to get things rolling...

Where are these pics from, specifically the Japanese restaurant? NY?

that one is from Taro. Pics are geolocated. We're doing a twitter/fb/youtube push later tonight but was looking for a few other suggestions.

I already have almost a hundred things to do per city (in our sexy format) generated from friends. We're trying to focus on NON TOURIST things to do.

Post it to HN...

(It worked for me, even though I'm pretty sure you aren't going to target Sydney Australia in your MVP...)
